<p>Is it possible to somehow send alerts (to email / slack) based on events that occur within a Kubernetes cluster?</p>

<p>In particular, it would be useful to get an alert if a pod has restarted unexpectedly or if a pod cannot start. Similarly it would be useful to know if a pod's CPU usage was over a certain threshold and get an alert.</p>

<p>We have Heapster (with InfluxDB / Grafana backend) installed. While this gives useful data, it unfortunately does not provide us with alerting.</p>

<p>Both <a href="http://thenewstack.io/sysdig-adds-kubernetes-container-monitoring-cloud/" rel="nofollow">sysdig</a> and <a href="http://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/kubernetes/" rel="nofollow">Datadog</a> provide this functionality as well.</p>
