Regex in notification rules

chris_oggeri — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 14:38:05 GMT

Hello,

To avoid creating as many alerting profiles/notification rules as there are use cases, we would like to have the ability to make regex on the available placeholders in the notification rules.

For instance, for ITSM notifications, we would like to avoid splitting the alerting rules per type of alert and priority.

We would like to gather the value of the priority in the title of the custom event and use it in the payload of the notification rule for example.

Example:

Alert titles: disk_fatal_threshold_p2_alertinfra (then p1/p2/p3/etc.)

Notification payload: { "event_id": "{PID}-{ProblemID}", "inc_priority": "{ProblemTitle\.*?p(.)_alertinfra}", ....}

Is there any capability to fulfil this need? I did found we could use regex in the documentation.

Thanks for your help.

Edit: Maybe something smarter could be allow us to use the Property attribute setup in the metric event as a placeholder like we can use with Tags.

@chris_oggeri you may want to look at this -- https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Product-ideas/RFE-Customize-Problem-Notification-mainly-by-email/idi-p/163549

So far, there's no functionality to parse "placeholders" AFAIK.

Thanks. Tibebe
