I use InfluxDB with Chronograf and Kapacitor for monitoring and notifications. It's pretty solid. I was excited about InfluxDB 2 since I wouldn't have to run Chronograf and Capacitor separately.
The notification settings are somewhat odd, though. In my case I want a notification if something transitions into a bad state (Critical), and also want to get a notification when it's back to normal (OK).
In InfluxDB 2, I can only set a notification to fire if the state goes to Critical, OR if it goes to OK. I can't have a single notification rule that covers both cases. It's super annoying to maintain two rules for each item I'm monitoring.
Meanwhile, Grafana has notifications work the way I described by default. I'm not sure if InfluxDB is weird, or if the rest of the world does notifications differently than I do.
