Build instructions

Dependencies

• Flutter
• OpenJDK 17 (or similar, for Android)
• Gstreamer and headers (for Linux)

Pre-build

cd open_alert_viewer
flutter pub get
dart run build_runner build
lic_ck check-licenses --config lic_ck.yaml
dart run flutter_oss_licenses:generate

Android

cd open_alert_viewer
flutter build apk --debug
adb install build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk

• or -

cd open_alert_viewer
vim android/key.properties
flutter build apk
adb install build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk

Where android/key.properties is something like:

storePassword=my_first_password
keyPassword=my_second_password
keyAlias=key0
storeFile=/home/andrew/.android-keystore/upload-keystore.jks

Linux

sudo apt install curl git unzip xz-utils zip libglu1-mesa imagemagick \
    clang cmake git ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev liblzma-dev libstdc++-12-dev \
    libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libunwind-dev

cd open_alert_viewer
flutter build linux
./build/linux/x64/release/bundle/open_alert_viewer

You can move or copy the bundle directory anywhere on your file system, but internal structure should remain the same. If you want to put the binary in your path, make a symlink.

If you want to build a simple .deb file, check your version of libgtk-3-0... and run the following script with something like:

./linux/oav-custom/compile x64 "libgtk-3-0t64 (>= 3.24.41)"

Back end configuration

Prometheus Alertmanager

When setting up your account in the app, enter the base address of your Alertmanager service, not Prometheus. Alertmanager may be listening on port 9093, but it needs to be wrapped in HTTPS, so it might be on another port, or under a separate base URL.

Prometheus doesn't seem to have a strict standard for categorization of alert types, so this app depends on a couple configurations on your server:

1. In files imported by the Prometheus rule_files directive, ensure that warning alerts have the label severity: set to warning, and the rest are set to page, critical or error (the default) for critical service and down host checks.

2. For down host checks, you should also make sure that alerts are labeled with the custom label: oav_type: ping or icmp.

This app parses any labels set by Prometheus in a case-sensitive way.

Debugging

To view debug alerts, create an account with the base URL set to demo.
