Dear folks, from a use case where I wanted to see the expression which triggered the alert in my slack template, I first used a workaround (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64007696/adding-alertmanager-expression-queries-while-alerting), but had the idea to
*include the expression in the alert struct to send it to the receivers.* Since I liked to see how far I would get I played around and added it myself on my forks: - Prometheus: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/compare/main...AlexanderKlump:prometheus:add-expression-as-field-to-alert-struct - Alertmanager: https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/compare/main...AlexanderKlump:alertmanager:add-expression-to-alert-structure?expand=1 - Common: https://github.com/prometheus/common/compare/main...AlexanderKlump:common:add-expression-field-to-alert-struct I got it working in the sense that Prometheus sends the expression field in the json, Alertmanager ingests it and one can use the expression in a reiver template. Before I fine tune it (and check the tests) and add a PR, I wanted to ask if you think this is a valuable change (seems somehow big to me, and maybe there was a good reason to not include it) Thank you for Prometheus+everything else! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Developers" group.
