How do I trigger an alert from my own monitoring system?

Two ways today. Post one REST call to my-iris’s alert-ingestion API and it starts the full escalation immediately — the standard integration for a monitoring platform, BMS, or IoT sensor gateway that can call a webhook. Or, if your tool can only send an email on an event, point it at a per-alert-group trigger address my-iris mints for you — any mail to that address starts the same escalation. Either way, my-iris is the escalation and proof layer sitting behind whatever detects the problem — it doesn’t replace your monitoring, it makes sure a human acts on what it finds.
