Problem to solve
I am trying to use the alerts feature. I give it my payload and map the fields. Nothing parses correctly. Every alert has Critical severity with the title “New: Alert”. I am seeing the whole alert in a field named “Details”. It is populated with the full body of the json I am posting:
{ "events": [ { "title": "Reconcile Complete - Path: C:\\Users\\agron\\Apps\\data-watcher\\Plots extension *.datx", "endTime": "2024-04-18T17:20:15.9253183Z", "service": "DataWatcher", "algoGuid": "ed397c83-21fa-4d77-b7e5-2e040f57a8b0", "severity": "info", "safeFiles": 137, "startTime": "2024-04-18T17:20:12.5990162Z", "environment": "kyle-dev", "fingerprint": "Thursday, April 18, 2024 ed397c83-21fa-4d77-b7e5-2e040f57a8b0", "ignoredEmpty": 0, "matchedFiles": 137, "backendRequest": 1, "monitoringTool": "self", "sentForProcessing": 0, "dateRangeMatchFiles": 137, "backendRequestFailed": 0 } ] }
The same thing happens if I don’t map the fields.
- What are you seeing, and how does that differ from what you expect to see?
It sees all my fields and allows me to map them.
- Consider including screenshots, error messages, and/or other helpful visuals
Steps to reproduce
Which troubleshooting steps have you already taken? Can you link to any docs or other resources so we know where you have been?
The UI seems like it expects the alert to be in a toplevel object containing a list of events. The form is prepopulated for that. But it isn’t mentioned in the docs:
If you make a new alert and copy and paste my json you should be able to map the fields and try sending a test alert.
