# Django Alert Thresholds

A reusable Django package for managing multi-level alert thresholds with support for different metrics, operators, and alert levels (Info, Warning, Critical, Emergency).

## Installation

### From Git (Private Repository)

```bash
pip install django-multi-level-alerts
```

### From Local Path (Development)

```bash
pip install -e /path/to/alert_thresholds
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Add to INSTALLED_APPS

```python
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'alert_thresholds',
    ...
]
```

### 2. Run Migrations

```bash
python manage.py migrate alert_thresholds
```

### 3. Configure Metrics

```python
# settings.py (or separate config file)
ALERT_THRESHOLDS = {
    'metrics': {
        'max_price_diff_pct': {
            'label': 'Max Price Difference %',
            'default_operator': 'gte',  # >=
            'description': 'Alert when price difference exceeds threshold',
            'models': ['myapp.MyModel'],
        },
        'min_balance': {
            'label': 'Minimum Balance',
            'default_operator': 'lt',  # <
            'description': 'Alert when balance drops below threshold',
            'models': ['myapp.Account'],
        },
    },
    'auto_create_thresholds': True,
}
```

### 4. Add Mixin to Models

```python
# models.py
from django.db import models
from alert_thresholds.mixins import AlertThresholdMixin

class Account(AlertThresholdMixin, models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    balance = models.DecimalField(max_digits=20, decimal_places=2)
```

### 5. Add Mixin to Admin

```python
# admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from alert_thresholds.admin import AlertThresholdAdminMixin
from .models import Account

@admin.register(Account)
class AccountAdmin(AlertThresholdAdminMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['name', 'balance']
```

## Usage in Code

### Check if Threshold is Exceeded

```python
from alert_thresholds.choices import AlertLevel

account = Account.objects.get(pk=1)

# Check threshold and get highest triggered level
alert_level = account.check_threshold_exceeded(
    metric_code='min_balance',
    current_value=account.balance
)

if alert_level == AlertLevel.EMERGENCY:
    send_emergency_alert(account)
elif alert_level == AlertLevel.CRITICAL:
    send_critical_alert(account)
```

### Get Threshold Values

```python
# Get specific threshold
emergency_threshold = account.get_threshold('min_balance', AlertLevel.EMERGENCY)

# Get all thresholds for a metric
thresholds = account.get_thresholds_for_metric('min_balance')
# Returns: {'info': 1000, 'warning': 500, 'critical': 100, 'emergency': 50}
```

## Available Operators

| Operator | Code | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| Greater Than | `gt` | value > threshold |
| Greater Than or Equal | `gte` | value >= threshold |
| Less Than | `lt` | value < threshold |
| Less Than or Equal | `lte` | value <= threshold |
| Equal | `eq` | value == threshold |
| Not Equal | `ne` | value != threshold |

## Alert Levels

| Level | Value | Use Case |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Info | 1 | Informational, no action needed |
| Warning | 2 | Attention needed soon |
| Critical | 3 | Immediate attention required |
| Emergency | 4 | Critical system failure |

## Management Commands

### Sync Metrics from Settings

```bash
python manage.py sync_alert_metrics
```

This is automatically run after `migrate`, but can be run manually if needed.

## Configuration Options

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `metrics` | dict | `{}` | Metric definitions |
| `auto_create_thresholds` | bool | `True` | Auto-create threshold records in admin |
