Alerts

Text Alert

HAL has an endpoint available for appdynamics to send a HTTP rest request to HAL. HAL will then send the alert to telegram

Endpoint is available as a POST to /api/appdynamics/group id

Sample request

{
  "environment": "test",
  "events": [
    {
      "severity": "ERROR",
      "application": {
        "name": "TESTAPP"
      },
      "tier": {
        "name": "TESTTIER"
      },
      "node": {
        "name": "test"
      },
      "displayName": "Business Transaction Error",
      "eventMessage": "[Error]  - ServletException: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: \"\""
    }
  ]
}

To setup a appdynamics action

1. go to "Alert & Respond"
2. Create a new HTTP Request template
3. Method is POST
4. RAW URL is {hal base url}/api/appdynamics/{group id} so if your base url is http://hal.interwebz.com and your group id is 45678 then the final url would be http://hal.interwebz.com/api/appdynamics/45678
5. Under payload, paste the JSON Template below. Change environment as you please.
6. Once done, under actions, create a new HTTP Requets action and link it to the HTTP request template.
7. Use your policies to define the rules you want alerted on.

JSON Template

#macro(EntityInfo $item)
	"name": "${item.name}"
#end	
	
	{
	"environment": "DEV / SIT",
	"policy" : {
		"digestDurationInMins": "${policy.digestDurationInMins}",
		"name": "${policy.name}"

	},
	"action": {
		"triggerTime":  "${action.triggerTime}",
		"name": "${action.name}"
		
	},
	"events": [
		#foreach(${event} in ${fullEventList})
		{
			"severity": "${event.severity}",
			"application": {
				#EntityInfo($event.application)
			},
			"tier": {
				#EntityInfo($event.tier)
			},
			"node": {
				#EntityInfo($event.node)
			},

			"displayName": "$event.displayName",
			"eventMessage": "$event.eventMessage"
		}
		#if($foreach.count != $fullEventList.size()) , #end
		#end
	]
}

Config

To get HAL to query Appdynamics, you will need to provide HAL with the information it needs to query Appdynamics

Endpoint

HAL needs to know the URL, user and password to use to query appdynamics

so, if your user is A-user, your group is customer1 and your password is secret, with app dynamics available on http://appd.yourcomany.com:8090 then the Endpoint address would be

http://A-user%40customer1:secret@appd.yourcomany.com:8090

endpoint is a POST request to /api/appdynamics/"group id"/endpoint
