Advanced Configuration

This feature is used for sending location in Alert Mail, SNMP Trap, and Cisco Spark. Regex is used to extract locations from Alert vectors.
- Pattern to fetch Indices Identifier ($SUBJECT_ID):
$SUBJECT_ID defines indices identifier i.e. unique substring of a vector. You can provide regular expressions to fetch a unique substring from every vector. This helps you to identify every vector uniquely.
Use cases for $SUBJECT_ID:

1. You can provide $SUBJECT_ID in subject, pre-text and post-text of an Email.
2. You can provide $SUBJECT_ID in the message of the observer for the SNMP trap.
3. You can provide $SUBJECT_ID in the message field of the observer for Alert-Extension.

If you use any of the above use cases then $SUBJECT_ID is replaced by such a substring from the vector which is the outcome of a given regular expression after compilation on that vector.
Example:1
If you have provided regular-expression "[0-9]{3}$"
And the alert got triggered in the vector "AppTier>Server000703"
And you have given $SUBJECT_ID in the subject of email
Then, in the subject of the email, "703" is displayed instead of $SUBJECT_ID
Example:2
If you have provided regular-expression "(?<=>h121580vaps)\d+"
And alert got triggered in the vector "ATG-OPEN-API-REST-BURST>h121580vaps2360>kls-rest-43"
And you have given $SUBJECT_ID in the subject of email
Then, in the subject of the email, "2360" is displayed instead of $SUBJECT_ID
- Test the above indices identifier pattern on:
You can test the provided indices identifier by using the Test button.
- Provide a favourite link in place of $FAV_LINK:
The actual favourite link is added in the email. You can directly view that favourite in the Dashboard by clicking the favourite link. In addition, you can open favourite metrics with graph time including the provided (±)minute(s) and time window given in the observer.
- Place all the metrics in a separate widget:
On enabling this toggle button, all the metrics are placed in separate widgets.
