VictoriaMetrics/deployment/docker/rules/alerts-vmanomaly.yml

# This file provides a recommended list of alerts to monitor the health of VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection (vmanomaly).
# Note: The alerts below are general recommendations and may require customization,
# including threshold adjustments, to suit the specifics of your setup.

groups:
    # Note - Adjust the `job` filter to match your specific setup.
    # By default, the `job` label for vmanomaly in push-based self-monitoring mode is set to `vmanomaly`.
    # However, this can be overridden using additional labels. For further details, refer to the example here:

            Too high memory usage may result into multiple issues such as OOMs or degraded performance.
