Thanks for the reply.
I looked a bit at the links, but it's a lot of things that I don't really
know how they work. When I set up Grafana to monitor our other servers
there were some default monitoring that included alerts and I was hoping
there was something similar here.
This isn't critical at the moment so I'll leave it for now. At some point
we probably will need alerts so I may get back to you then.

Hi, sorry for the delayed response.
First of all, the Wikitech section you found is about the wikiprod
Grafana instance at
https://grafana.wikimedia.org. The WMCS Grafana
instance (
https://grafana.wmcloud.org) only queries data from various
Prometheus instances, so for those we use Prometheus and
prometheus-alertmanager directly instead of adding yet another component
to the alerting stack.
So, yes, it is possible to configure e-mail or IRC alerts from the
Prometheus metrics we collect from all Cloud VPS instances.[0] The bad
news is that there's no self-service user interface for it yet, so you
would need to ask a Cloud VPS admin to do any changes manually. It's not
really documented anywhere yet, except this tiny section[1] which is
aimed at admins who have direct access to the project.
I'm happy to do the changes if you have a Prometheus query to alert on
written already, just create a task in the #Cloud-VPS project and tag me
(@taavi) on it.
