Notifications in the context of the OCI Distribution Specification and the Distribution project refer to the ability to receive alerts or messages about certain events or activities. This can include notifications for completed builds, successful deployments, errors, or any other events that require user attention. This document will cover the possible notification options and provide examples for each option, using only the provided URLs as sources.
Email notifications: Email is a common method for receiving notifications. The Grafana documentation explains how to set up email notifications by creating a contact point with an email integration. The Prometheus documentation also provides instructions for configuring email notifications using the Alertmanager.
Slack notifications: Slack is another popular method for receiving notifications. The Grafana documentation explains how to set up Slack notifications by creating a contact point with a Slack integration.
Webhook notifications: Webhooks allow for custom integrations with other systems or services. The Argo CD documentation provides an example of using webhooks for notifications, specifically for triggering Tekton pipelines.
Prometheus Alertmanager: The Prometheus Alertmanager is a separate tool for handling notifications. The Prometheus documentation explains how to configure the Alertmanager for various notification methods, including email, Slack, and PagerDuty.
Notification policies: Notification policies allow for more fine-grained control over when and how notifications are sent. The Grafana documentation explains how to create notification policies, which can include rules for sending notifications based on labels or other criteria.
In summary, there are various notification options available when working with the OCI Distribution Specification and the Distribution project. These options include email, Slack, webhooks, and the Prometheus Alertmanager, as well as more advanced features like notification policies. By understanding and utilizing these notification options, users can stay informed about events and activities in their systems.
