Overview¶

With Robusta you can respond to alerts faster and more reliably, by using automation. This is done by defining "playbooks" or automation workflows.

Automation for Prometheus Alerts¶

Robusta can automate the response to Prometheus alerts. Here are common automation types:

• Enrich - add missing context to alerts

• Remediate - automatically fix issues

• Silence - suppress alerts based on complex conditions to reduce noise

Automation for Kubernetes Changes¶

You can also automate the response to Kubernetes resource changes:

• Create Finding - generate a notification for a change of interest

• Enrich - add context to notifications generated by "Create Finding"

• Remediate - run a Job in response to a Kubernetes event or change

How Automations Work¶

Automations in Robusta are called playbooks and they are defined in YAML in your Robusta Helm values.

Every playbook consists of two parts:

• A Trigger condition that defines when the automation runs

• An Action that defines what the automation does (typically falling into the above categories like enrich, remediate, silence, etc)
