Hi Team,

But I want something like this on the message.

This is my code:

{{- define “slack.text” -}}
{{- range .Alerts -}}
{{ if gt (len .Annotations) 0 }}
Summary: {{ .Annotations.summary}}

Description: {{ .Annotations.description }}

Go to dashboard: {{ .DashboardURL }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}

Can anybody please assist me on this.

Regards,
Zeeshan Khan

Is this Microsoft Teams? If so, links need to be formatted as Markdown links with [link name](link url).

[Go to dashboard]: {{ (.DashboardURL) }}

Do i need to write on this way?

More like:

Go to Dashboard: [{{ .DashboardURL }}]({{ .DashboardURL }})

It worked. Thank You :slightly_smiling_face:

You’re welcome! I’m not sure if that works in Slack, so you might need to create a separate template for Microsoft Teams and Slack.

Hi all,
I’m working on the email template, and no matter what I’ve done, the Dashboard/Panel/SilenceURL won’t appear in my alert email content.
They are always empty. My grafana version is 9.5.1.

— Below is not working in this grafana instance —

…

Silence the alert: {{ .SilenceURL }}

…

Go to dashboard: {{ .DashboardURL }}

Go to panel: {{ .PanelURL }}

Also, this is showing empty as well.

— Below is not working in this grafana instance —

{{ if gt (len .Annotations) 0 }}
Annotations:
{{ range .Annotations.SortedPairs }}
{{ .Name }}: {{ .Value }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}

{{ if gt (len .CommonAnnotations) 0 }}
CommonAnnotations:
{{ range .CommonAnnotations.SortedPairs }}
{{ .Name }}: {{ .Value }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}

{{ if gt (len .Labels) 0 }}
Labels:
{{ range .Labels.SortedPairs }}
{{ .Name }}: {{ .Value }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}

My email is showing empty content for the above.
Any idea please?

Thanks,
Hewon

You need to iterate over the alerts first, for example:

{{ range .Alerts }}
{{ if gt (len .Labels) 0 }}
Labels:
{{ range .Labels.SortedPairs }}
{{ .Name }}: {{ .Value }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}

Please see the docs Customize notifications | Grafana documentation.

Thank you!
Do you know why the URL not showing? Are they not supported in v9.5.1?

Silence the alert: {{ .SilenceURL }}

Go to dashboard: {{ .DashboardURL }}

Go to panel: {{ .PanelURL }}

Thanks!

Hi! :wave: Like I said, You need to iterate over the alerts first. For example:

{{ range .Alerts }}
Silence the alert: {{ .SilenceURL }}
{{ end }}

Hi,

This is unfortunately not working for me on Grafana 9.2…

This is my template:

{{- /* Example displaying firing and resolved alerts separately in the notification. */ -}}
{{- /* Edit the template name and template content as needed. */ -}}

{{ define "custom.firing_and_resolved_alerts" -}}
{{ len .Alerts.Resolved }} resolved alert(s)
{{ range .Alerts.Resolved -}}
    {{ template "alert.summary_and_description" . -}}
{{ end }}
{{ len .Alerts.Firing }} firing alert(s)
{{ range .Alerts.Firing -}}
  {{ template "alert.summary_and_description" . -}}
{{ end -}}
{{ end -}}

{{ define "alert.summary_and_description" }}
  [testlink](www.google.com)
  {{"\t"}}*Dashboard*: [{{ .DashboardURL }}]({{ .DashboardURL }})
  {{"\t"}}*Panel*: [{{ .PanelURL }}]({{ .PanelURL }})
  {{"\t"}}*Name*: {{ .Labels.alertname }}
  {{"\t"}}*Description*: {{.Annotations.description}}
  {{"\t"}}*Summary*: {{.Annotations.summary}}
  {{"\t"}}*Host*: {{ .Labels.human_name }}
  {{"\t"}}*Starts at*: {{ .StartsAt }}
{{ end -}}

This is the result in Slack:

As you can see it is taking the URL string and rendering it as the link. Instead of respecting the markdown-formatted link.

Do you have any suggestions how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
