Get problemID from Davis Problem Trigger in workflow

[william_cher]

What if the Trigger is event Trigger, for example Davis problem trigger. How do i get the problem ID that trigger this?

Hi @william_cher,

You can access the event payload and its attributes through {{ event() }} expression.

For example:

{{ event()["event.id"] }}

Hi @michal_zawislak ,

Thanks for your reply. How do I access this information in Javascript?

As im running a custom Javascript after the Trigger.

The "Run Javascript" action is a bit different as it's not allowed to use expressions there due to security concerns. Instead of expressions, you can use automation-utils SDK to get event payload and then navigate to the attribute using JavaScript syntax. 

import { execution } from '@dynatrace-sdk/automation-utils';

export default async function ({ execution_id }) {
  const exe = await execution(execution_id);
  const eventContext = exe.event();
  const eventId = eventContext['event.id']
}

 I hope this will help.

I was struggling with that as well...
Adding a Custom JS step to extract the impacted entity IDs from a problem to get entity NAMES so that a Teams notification is more meaningful...

But HOW (and where) can we find such internal code api documentation? I'm really struggling getting examples on what APIs exist....

You can find examples and available SDKs/APIs in the documentation: https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/platform-modules/automations/workflows/reference
