UI

More ways to select in visualizations

Narrow what you are looking at in a chart by clicking a value in the legend or on the chart. The visualization highlights the item of interest, with its details displayed in the right rail.

Alerting

notification.uuid variable

The UUID uniquely identifies a particular alert, including its reminders and closures. You may find this helpful when sending notifications to 3rd party systems, such as PagerDuty.

{
  "type": "section",
  "text": {
    "type": "mrkdwn",
    "text": "*UUID:*\n{{notification.uuid}}"
  }
}

Select an item in an array by index

If you know the index of the desired item in an array, get that value directly in your Channel Action template. For example, show the URL and name at index 0 in an array of Resources:

{{#notification.hasResources}}
  {{#notification.resourcesWithLinkType}}
    {
      "type": "section",
      "text": {
        "type": "mrkdwn",
        "text": "*{{linkType}}:*\n<{{instances.0.url}}|{{instances.0.name}}>"
      }
    },
  {{/notification.resourcesWithLinkType}}
{{/notification.hasResources}}
