## What it is
Alerta is a monitoring system that consolidates and de-duplicates alerts from multiple monitoring sources into a single view, combining a JSON API server with a web UI and CLI tool. It integrates with tools like Prometheus, Zabbix, Nagios, and PagerDuty and supports MongoDB or PostgreSQL as backends.

## Use cases
- consolidate alerts from multiple monitoring tools into one dashboard
- de-duplicate and correlate alerts from Prometheus and Zabbix
- self-host an alert management API server
- send alerts from scripts via CLI or Python SDK
- manage on-call alert acknowledgements with PagerDuty and Slack integration

## When to choose
- you need a single pane of glass for alerts from many monitoring systems
- you want a self-hosted, scalable alert console with OAuth/SAML/LDAP auth
- you need an API-first alert pipeline with webhooks and plugins

## When to avoid
- you only need metrics collection and graphing rather than alert routing
- you want a fully managed SaaS alerting solution
- you need deep built-in monitoring agents rather than alert consolidation
