How to put the alert name into the subject of an Ambari Alert

Epollard — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 16:59:17 GMT

Hi,

I want to put the alert name in the subject of the email alert

I followed the example in https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/branch-2.1/ambari-server/src/main/resources/alert-templates.xml but the following does not fill in the variables and I just the the variable names in the email.

<![CDATA[Ambari: [$alert.getAlertState()]-[$alert.getAlertName()]-[$alert.getAlertText()]]]>

If I use the template as it is, the email populates with the summary variables, ie:

<![CDATA[Alert Summary: OK[$summary.getOkCount()], Warning[$summary.getWarningCount()], Critical[$summary.getCriticalCount()], Unknown[$summary.getUnknownCount()]]]>

Is there a trick to get the subject to show the $alert variables to the subject?

Thanks in advance!

Eric
