In the world of database management, silence isn't always golden. An unheeded alert about dwindling disk space or a failed backup can be the quiet prelude to a major incident. For decades, the default notification system has been email. While reliable, the modern technical landscape—driven by collaboration and speed—demands something more immediate, more integrated, and less likely to be lost in a crowded inbox.

The reality is that high-performing DevOps and DBA teams live in collaborative platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams. This is where conversations happen, problems are solved, and actions are triggered. A critical database alert that arrives as just another email is an alert detached from your team's workflow.

At 123cluster, we believe that managing your database infrastructure should fit seamlessly into how your team already works. That’s why our platform integrates directly with the messaging systems you use every day, ensuring critical notifications about your resources are delivered to the right people, in the right place, at the right time.

From Alert Overload to Actionable Intelligence

123cluster’s notification system acts as a central nervous system for your database clusters. By integrating with a variety of messaging platforms, we transform raw alerts into actionable intelligence delivered directly into your team's communication hub.

Here’s how our integrations empower your teams:

1. Slack & Microsoft Teams: Powering Your ChatOps Workflow
For DevOps engineers, ChatOps isn't just a buzzword; it's a practice that streamlines operations by bringing tools into conversations. With 123cluster's native Slack and MS Teams integrations, you can pipe crucial database notifications directly into dedicated channels.

• Immediate Visibility: An alert for high CPU usage on a production PostgreSQL cluster appears in your #dba-alerts channel, visible to the entire on-call team instantly.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Team members can immediately discuss the alert, triage the issue, and coordinate a response right within the chat thread, eliminating the need to switch contexts.
• Faster Response Times: By placing alerts at the center of your team's communication, you dramatically reduce the mean time to resolution (MTTR) for critical database events.

2. Telegram: Critical Alerts, Delivered Instantly
When an urgent issue arises outside of business hours, you need a notification that can’t be ignored. Telegram excels at delivering instant, mobile-first push notifications. 123cluster’s Telegram integration is perfect for on-call DBAs and SREs who need to be alerted to mission-critical events, no matter where they are. Get alerts for events like cluster failovers or restore failures delivered directly to your pocket.

3. Email: The Professional Standard for Reporting
We understand that email still holds a critical place in enterprise operations. It's the standard for formal communication, generating reports, and integrating with ticketing systems like Jira or ServiceNow. 123cluster provides robust and fully customizable email notifications, perfect for:

• Sending daily or weekly health summaries of your database fleet.
• Documenting the successful completion of scheduled maintenance tasks.
• Creating an automated paper trail for compliance and auditing purposes.

Get Notified About What Matters Most

With 123cluster, you have fine-grained control over what you get notified about. Configure alerts for the full lifecycle of your Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB, or any other supported database cluster, including:

• Resource Health: High CPU, low memory, or critical disk space thresholds.
• Operational Status: Successful or failed backups, restores, and scaling operations.
• Lifecycle Events: Confirmation that a new cluster has been successfully provisioned or a node has been added.
• Availability: Alerts on node failures or changes in cluster-leader status.

Stop Managing Alerts. Start Managing Your Databases.

By integrating with the tools your team already relies on, 123cluster bridges the gap between database management and team collaboration. Stop letting critical alerts get buried in an inbox. Empower your team with the visibility and speed they need to be proactive, not reactive.
