Get alerts for:

hanging LLM api calls
failed LLM api calls
slow LLM api calls
budget Tracking per key/user:

Quick Start

Set up a slack alert channel to receive alerts from proxy.

Step 1: Add a Slack Webhook URL to env

Get a slack webhook url from https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks

Step 2: Update config.yaml

Let's save a bad key to our proxy

model_list: 
    model_name: "azure-model"
    litellm_params:
        model: "azure/gpt-35-turbo"
        api_key: "my-bad-key" # 👈 bad key

general_settings: 
    alerting: ["slack"]
    alerting_threshold: 300 # sends alerts if requests hang for 5min+ and responses take 5min+ 

Set SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL in your proxy env

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/<>/<>/<>"

Step 3: Start proxy

$ litellm --config /path/to/config.yaml
