Feature Request: Kibana URL Link in Alerts about alerting

[mihirsoni]

@shreyu86 entire monitor object is available in ctx. so you can extract id from there.

alerting/alerting/src/main/kotlin/com/amazon/opendistroforelasticsearch/alerting/model/Monitor.kt

Lines 43 to 50 in 1d730c0

	override val id: String = NO_ID,
	override val version: Long = NO_VERSION,
	override val name: String,
	override val enabled: Boolean,
	override val schedule: Schedule,
	override val lastUpdateTime: Instant,
	override val enabledTime: Instant?,
	val inputs: List<Input>,

Closing this for now, feel free to open this in case you face any other issue.

@shreyu86 Thanks for the request.

Trying to understand more, so this is still possible by adding it as part of action message itself while creating the trigger and providing the monitor URL in action message.

Are you suggesting to have this as default message or always append to the action message automatically ?

In case of appending always could cause some issues. Imagine, someone wants to use display monitor using some different way or one is using custom webhook. In that case user might want to send JSON in the message v/s just a text.

@mihirsoni Thanks for reply, can you please elaborate on how I go about providing the monitor URL in the message, is it attached to ctx or I hard code it from the Alerts app like app/opendistro-alerting#/monitors/Z5YyE2oBvmugrp4G5caq

Trying to understand more, so this is still possible by adding it as part of action message itself while creating the trigger and providing the monitor URL in action message.

Alternatively, I was able to get around this by saving my search for the monitor (exact query as the monitor) and attaching that URL in the message to help the receiver go directly to Kibana to triage the issue. For example:

Monitor Free taco Monitor just entered alert status. Please investigate the issue.
- Trigger: Taco Parrot is Hungry
- Severity: 5
- Period start: 2019-04-25T18:32:14.670Z
- Period end: 2019-04-25T18:33:14.670Z
- Dashboard URL: <KIBANA_URL>/_plugin/kibana/goto/eb2831a2c822ff4db9e9f2fdf978a547
