Hi, I’m setting up some alerts from an Azure Monitor data source, using Grafana 8.
Just wondering how I can include things like the azure resource group, resource name, etc in the alert message?

hi @jamesslater
Check out this documentation and see if it helps. You should be able to place labels and template variables in handlebars:
Hi @mattabrams , Thanks for replying, yes i’ve seen that. It talk about using labels. $labels.namespace
but I am right in saying labels are pre-defined somewhere. They are not values pulled from the alerts data source?

Hi @jamesslater,
You can pass in template variables, and variables are defined in the dashboard settings. Check out this public dashboard:
https://play.grafana.org/d/000000056/templated-dynamic-dashboard?orgId=1
It has several variables including app. So if you look at the queries, they are using $app in the query. If you wanted to alert on a query that was using the $app variable, then yes, you can pass in the value dynamically into the alert message as "There is a problem with {{ $app }}.
Does that help?
Hi, Thank you for the Dashboard link, that is useful, but in Grafana 8, the alerts are separated from the Dashboards? and in this example I don’t have permissions to edit the alerts to see how they are constructed.
How can this be done with the new Grafana 8 alerts?
