webhook-translator
==================

webhook-translator is a component in the Service Assurance architecture for OSM.

Its role is to receive alerts from entities such as Prometheus AlertManager or external systems, and to translate them to a format that can be consumed by Airflow DAGs. It basically receives HTTP POST messages and forwards them to an Airflow webhook

The main characteristics are:

* Lightweight: a very small number of lines of code does the work.
* Stateless. It only translates HTTP requests. No state for those translations. When running as a Kubernetes deployment, native scaling is achieved by means of Kubernetes services.
* Simple. Based on `FastAPI <https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/>`
* Independent from the source of the alert. No maintenance is required to incorporate new alert sources.
