## What it is
A curated collection of 1000+ production-ready, copy-pasteable Prometheus alerting rules covering 100+ services and exporters, published as a browsable website. Rules are provided as YAML snippets ready to drop into Prometheus or Alertmanager configurations.

## Use cases
- find prometheus alert rules for mysql
- copy-paste alertmanager rules for kubernetes
- ready-made promql alerts for redis
- set up monitoring alerts for postgresql
- best practice prometheus alerting rules for kafka
- alert rules for docker containers and node exporter

## When to choose
- you use Prometheus/Alertmanager and want battle-tested alert rules instead of writing PromQL from scratch
- you need alerts for common services like MySQL, Redis, Kafka, or Kubernetes
- you want a reference of alerting best practices across many exporters

## When to avoid
- you use a monitoring stack other than Prometheus/VictoriaMetrics
- you need a fully managed alerting service rather than rule definitions
- you need custom application-specific alerts not covered by the collection

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: alerting, monitoring, documentation
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: self-hosted, cloud
