1 year ago Hi @RodoggA, thanks for the suggestion!
We have merged a few days ago the ability to have custom notification subjects (https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/alerting/health-configuration-reference#alert-line-summary).
However, it is not a complete custom subject replacement as you would like. As an example of an email notification:
Warning, Ram utilization = 90.2%, on 6am
The Ram utilization part of the above is the summary field in alert configuration and can be anything you like (and can include chart labels). The rest of them though (i.e. the Warning, = 90.2%, on 6am) are currently hardcoded to construct the rest of the email subject.
We are looking for ways to further customize the notifications though, and introducing more variables like you suggested was also considered, but since we wanted the summary field to appear in the dashboard as well, we choose to keep it simpler. Perhaps we can introduce them and allow full customization if a user chooses to do so, and keep a fallback in other cases...

Description
NetData provides many difference approaches to how we can receive our alerts. A nice little feature for alert notifications would be dynamic content that allows us to customize our alerts using dynamic content flags.
For my use case, it would be really awesome to have dynamic titles. For example Alert - {alert.title}, {alert.status}. From here, using dynamic content in conjunction with our automation tools, we would be able to build out escalation workflows based on the severity of the alert and the impacted system.

Proposed implementation
For my implementation, It would be awesome to have this configurable from the web interface that also provides a preview or a method to test what an incoming alert would look like.
For Example:
Alert - CPU on HOST-01 has reached 90% utilization. (New - High)
Alert - CPU on HOST-01 has reached 90% utilization. (Updated - Medium)
Doing this way would ensure that when the notification is received by the administrator, they can quickly judge next steps or IT teams can use those subjects to build out automated workflows.
Alert - {alert.title,} (alert.status - {alert.priority})
