ilagent

ilagent is a lightweight program that lets you easily integrate your on-premise systems with ilert.

ilagent comes as a single binary with a small footprint and is available for all major platforms. We also provide an official Docker image.

Features

• Send events and heartbeats from the command line

• Run a local HTTP proxy server with a retry queue for events and heartbeats

• Consume and forward MQTT messages to ilert

• Consume and forward Apache Kafka messages to ilert

• Map and filter consumer messages to ilert events

• Sync escalation policy levels from external systems

Installing

Docker

docker run ilert/ilagent --help

Compile from source

Requires Rust to be installed, see https://rustup.rs

cargo build --release
./target/release/ilagent --help

Install script (macOS / Linux)

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iLert/ilagent/master/install.sh | bash -

Pre-compiled binaries are available on the releases page.

Quick reference

• The proxy exposes the same API as https://api.ilert.com/api — see the API docs

• In daemon mode, provide -b il1hbt123... to monitor ilagent's uptime via heartbeats

• Adjust the log level with multiple -v flags (default: error, -v warn, -v -v info)

• ilagent buffers events locally using SQLite3 (except in Kafka mode) and requires file system access in daemon mode
