Builtin Playbooks

Robusta includes builtin playbooks that:

  • Enhance common Prometheus alerts

  • Complement Prometheus with direct APIServer monitoring

You can view builtin playbooks in the default Helm values.

In this guide, we explain the default configuration.

Default Prometheus Enhancements

The following default playbook handles all Prometheus alerts that Robusta receives:

builtinPlaybooks:
- triggers:
  - on_prometheus_alert: {}
  actions:
  - default_enricher: {}

There are additional enrichments for specific alerts. For example:

To define additional playbooks for your own alerts, refer to the Enrich Alerts guide.

Default Prometheus Silencing

Robusta uses silencer actions to flag false positive alerts and prevent them from being sent.

Silencers are just regular actions that call a special silencing API in their code.

To define your own silencers, refer to the playbook actions documentation.
