Siren provides alerting on metrics of your applications using Cortex metrics in a simple DIY configuration. With Siren, you can define templates(using go templates standard), and create/edit/enable/disable prometheus rules on demand. It also gives flexibility to manage bulk of rules via YAML files. Siren can be integrated with any client such as CI/CD pipelines, Self-Serve UI, microservices etc.

• Rule Templates: Siren provides a way to define templates over alerting rule which can be reused to create multiple instances of the same rule with configurable thresholds.
• Subscriptions: Siren can be used to subscribe to notifications (with desired matching conditions) via the channel of your choice.
• Multi-tenancy: Rules created with Siren are by default multi-tenancy aware.
• DIY Interface: Siren can be used to easily create/edit alerting rules. It also provides soft-delete (disable) so that you can preserve thresholds in case you need to reuse the same alert.
• Managing bulk rules: Siren enables users to manage bulk alerting rules using YAML files in specified format with simple CLI.
• Receivers: Siren can be used to send out notifications to several channels (slack, pagerduty, email etc).
• Alert History: Siren can store alerts triggered by monitoring & alerting provider e.g. Cortex Alertmanager, which can be used for audit purposes. To know more, follow the detailed documentation
