Daily Alert Digest

Overview​

OpsWorker generates an automated daily summary of alert activity and delivers it to your configured Slack channel at 09:00 UTC every day. The digest provides a snapshot of your operational health with day-over-day comparisons.

What's Included​

Alert Summary​

  • Total alerts received in the last 24 hours
  • Breakdown by severity (critical, warning, info)
  • Day-over-day comparison (more or fewer alerts than yesterday)

Per-Cluster Breakdown​

  • Alert counts for each connected cluster
  • Identifies which clusters had the most activity

Namespace Analysis​

  • Most active namespaces by alert volume
  • Namespace-level drilldown available in the portal

Trend Indicators​

  • Improving — Fewer alerts compared to previous day
  • Stable — Similar alert volume
  • Regressing — More alerts than previous day

Viewing in the Portal​

The daily digest is also available in the OpsWorker portal:

  1. Navigate to Reports → Daily Alert Digest
  2. Select a date to view that day's report
  3. Drill down into specific namespaces and alert types

The portal provides more detail than the Slack summary, including:

  • Alert breakdown by type and source
  • Infrastructure signal tracking
  • "What changed" section highlighting notable differences

Configuration​

  • The daily digest is sent to the Slack channel configured in your notification routing
  • Delivery time: 09:00 UTC daily (not currently configurable)
  • One digest per workspace

Using the Digest Effectively​

  • Morning operational review — Start each day knowing the state of your infrastructure
  • Trend spotting — Watch for namespaces with increasing alert volumes over multiple days
  • Alert tuning — Identify noisy alerts that should be tuned in your monitoring system
  • Capacity planning — Persistent resource alerts may indicate a need to scale
