The future of Alerting profiles

[henk_stobbe]

Hello,

I see that the classic alerting profiles are missing features I would like to have, so looking at workflows this seems more flexible way to send  out alerts.

I am guessing Dynatrace is developing an new alerting app as wee speak?

Sorry,

I think I found the answer myself (-;

Careful @henk_stobbe ! Workflows are quite expensive (too expensive to use them for alerting profile replacement IMO).
A single workflow costs per hour it sits around and then also for every execution!

@henk_stobbe as far as I know another solution is in development. So alerting profiles as they are will be phased out.

That is completely right. We will introduce a license included notification possibility to replace the existing notification channels and alerting profiles. Of course we will only sunset the existing ones once the new feature has fully landed.

The plan at the moment is as follows:

- In October, the first license included one click notify me will appear directly in the new problems app, which sends out emails automatically. See the screenshot below:

- Next step then is to offer a general purpose 'Automate' action on top of this to allow you to call any REST endpoint or trigger any automation step. The plan is that this will also be license included as long as you stick to a 'simple' workflow with a single action. Once you start programming on top @r_weber it will become a workflow 😉

Best greetings,
