Support Backend plugins for Alert notifiers #16004

Open 3brettb opened 5 years ago

3brettb commented 5 years ago

What would you like to be added: The ability to create custom Notification Channel Types -- similar to a datasource plugin -- to support custom notification platforms.

Why is this needed: We have a use case for our own internal notification framework interfacing with grafana alerts. In this case, a simple webhook would not provide the level of integration desired to fully utilize the framework. We would want to create a "plugin" that would allow for us to specify configuration settings -- ones that are unique to our framework -- when creating a new notification channel.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

Trying to execute a custom API endpoint on alerts which is different from the existing webhook style (as it is an external service we cannot change that). A plugin option for alerts would make it possible to build a custom plugin.

It's been 18 months, I see no updates on this ticket. We need to add this to our zoom chat alerts. Even if a generic option was given to create posts with custom heads and JSON it would solve this for most of us.

The lack of something like this is a really significant problem. Being able to write a plugin would allow me to avoid having to write an entire service just to translate the grafana webhook data into something usable and passing it on.

Looks like they just LOVE clicking the auto-close button and don't care what their customer needs are. They just LOVE putting shiny bells on stuff no one uses instead. They really need a better customer relations team.

could use that too. i guess no cigar yet.

Hi, is this feature on any roadmap? The currently assigned project is named "deprecated".

CameronJHall commented 1 month ago

This feature would provide significant value. The flexibility to add custom data sources and panels is great, but the inability to create custom notifiers has forced me to develop workarounds that introduce unnecessary complexity and potential failure points. I'd love to at least see this make it to the roadmap, it's been over 5 years since this issue was opened.
