When creating an alert (manage alerts window) the definition preview is unavailable now.
Additional context
The preview was working as of 31 May, 2024. It appears there was an update/change over the weekend. The UI looks different than it did on Friday as well (for Alert Manager).
Expected behavior
Alert definition should preview and update on the right-hand side of the alert manager window, per netdata doc.
Steps to reproduce
Navigate to the Metrics tab and select the chart you want to configure for Alerts.
Click the Alert icon in the top right corner of the chart.
The Alert Configuration Manager will open, showing the default thresholds. The Alert definition does not appear on the right-hand side.
I switched to the nightly build. It still doesn’t work. It errors out on the right-hand side even with values that can be left undefined because they have a default action/value.
@Eric_Simich that is a bug. I tested it and noticed that Netdata requires all possible fields to be set (including optional ones) and does not generate configuration until all fields are set. We will fix it, but probably not this but next week.
If I go through the ‘Manage Space’ menu > configurations > health > add new configuration item, the alert template preview works. However, if I try adding an alert by clicking on the ‘Manage Alerts’ button > Add Alert from within a specific metric, within a node, it does not work.
I’d like to use Ansible to deploy the health.d configs. How do I specify within the alert template the specific dimension I want to trigger my alert. I noticed when I type the dimension in the dimension field it does not populate in the output preview.
One last question, before I could specify a longer time period for alerts (up to 7 days). If I wanted to set an alert for something where the percentage was above a threshold for a few days, how would I do that?
