Issue Reference

Closes OpsiMate/OpsiMate#1334


What Was Changed

actions.md

  • Added a "Creating an action" section (Actions → New action → configure → Send test → Create action, plus edit and delete).
  • Replaced the one-line "Scope" section with "Show on alerts": name substrings, label matcher groups, and the rule that an action with no criteria shows on every alert. It is not a permission.
  • Added a "Send test" section with the sample alert values and a warning that the test sends a real request.
  • Added an "API" section with the route table, the auth note, and the Viewer 403 note.

enrichments.md

  • Fixed the sentence under Match criteria that said mute policies, enrichments and actions behave the same. The one difference is the no-criteria case: an action shows on every alert, while a mute policy or enrichment matches nothing.

Why Was It Changed

The Actions page never explained how to create an action, and the Scope line was too short to be useful. The enrichments page also contained a wrong statement about how empty criteria behave.

Additional Context (Optional)

  • npm run build passes and I previewed the pages locally with npm start.
  • The Alert History Timeline section is untouched, and "Body is JSON", "Fields the sender can change" and {{startsAt.display}} are left out, as the issue asks.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified how alert names and label criteria determine when actions, mute policies, and enrichments match.
    • Added guidance on testing actions, including sample data, saved changes, and possible real integrations.
    • Documented alert action API access and behavior, including Viewer restrictions.

Walkthrough

The alert actions documentation now covers creation and editing, alert-display criteria, test actions, and API routes. The enrichments documentation clarifies how empty criteria differ for actions, mute policies, and enrichments.

Changes: Action documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Creation and alert matching
opsimate-docs/docs/alerts/actions.md, opsimate-docs/docs/alerts/enrichments.md
The actions page explains creation and editing, name and label criteria, and empty criteria. The enrichments page distinguishes empty-criteria behavior for actions, mute policies, and enrichments.
Testing actions
opsimate-docs/docs/alerts/actions.md
The page documents sample alert data, test results, and the possibility that tests send real requests.
Actions API
opsimate-docs/docs/alerts/actions.md
The page lists action API routes, request fields, authentication requirements, response fields, and 403 responses for logged-in Viewers on mutation routes.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Document action creation and editing, alert-display criteria, and empty-criteria behavior [#1334] ❓ The summaries confirm creation and editing guidance and criteria, but do not establish whether the page documents row deletion and its confirmation.
Document test behavior and the actions API, including routes and Viewer restrictions [#1334] ✅
Clarify empty-criteria behavior for actions, mute policies, and enrichments [#1334] ✅

# Opsmate

Opsmate is an LLM-powered SRE copilot for understanding and solving production problems. By encoding expert troubleshooting patterns and operational knowledge, Opsmate lets users describe problem statements and intentions in natural language, eliminating the need to memorise complex command line or domain-specific tool syntax.

Opsmate can not only perform problem solving autonomously, but also allow human operators to provide feedback and take over the control when needed.   * 🧠 Knowledge Management: Ingest and use domain-specific knowledge
  * 📈 Web UI &amp; API: Access Opsmate through a web interface or API
  * 🔌 Plugin System: Extend Opsmate with custom plugins

## Installation

Choose your preferred installation method:

The recommended way of installing opsmate is using `uv`:
    
    # Using uvx
    uv tool install -U opsmate

Other than that, you can also install opsmate using `pip`, `pipx` or `docker`.
    
    # Using pip
    pip install -U opsmate
    
    # Using pipx
    pipx install opsmate
    # or
    pipx upgrade opsmate
    
    # Using Docker
    docker pull ghcr.io/opsmate-ai/opsmate:latest
    alias opsmate=&quot;docker run -it --rm --env OPENAI_API_KEY=$OPENAI_API_KEY -v $HOME/.opsmate:/root/.opsmate ghcr.io/opsmate-ai/opsmate:latest&quot;
    
    # From source
    git clone git@github.com:opsmate-ai/opsmate.git
    cd opsmate
    uv build
    pipx install ./dist/opsmate-*.whl

## Configuration

Opsmate is powered by large language models. It currently supports:

  * OpenAI
  * Anthropic
  * xAI

Set up your API key in an environment variable:
    
    export OPENAI_API_KEY=&quot;sk-proj...&quot;
    # or
    export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=&quot;sk-ant-api03-...&quot;
    # or
    export XAI_API_KEY=&quot;xai-...&quot;

## Quick Start

### Run commands with natural language
    
    $ opsmate run &quot;what&#39;s the gpu of the vm&quot;
    # Output: Command and result showing GPU information

### Solve complex production issues
    
    $ opsmate solve &quot;what&#39;s the k8s distro of the current context&quot;
    # Output: Thought process and analysis determining K8s distribution

### Interactive chat mode
    
    $ opsmate chat

### Web UI and API
    
    $ opsmate serve
    # Web interface: http://localhost:8080
    # API documentation: http://localhost:8080/api/docs

## Advanced Usage

Opsmate can be deployed in production environments using the `opsmate-operator` in a Kubernetes cluster, providing:

  * Task scheduling via CRDs
  * Dedicated HTTPS endpoints and web UI for tasks
  * Multi-tenancy support
  * Automatic resource management with TTL
  * API server for environment management

Check our production documentation for details.

## Use Cases

Opsmate supports various use cases:

  * Production issue troubleshooting and resolution
  * Root cause analysis
  * Performance analysis and improvement
  * Observability and monitoring setup
  * Capacity planning
  * On-call engineer assistance
  * Infrastructure as Code management
  * Routine task automation (CI/CD, backups, updates)
  * Knowledge management
  * Workflow orchestration

Document all accepted criteria fields.

The public CreateActionSchema accepts nameContains and labelMatchers, but the API table lists only nameContainsAny and labelMatcherGroups. API users can miss valid request fields. Add the omitted fields, or identify which names are canonical and which are deprecated aliases.
