             Summary: Alerts: AlertDefinition Should Have a Description
                 Key: AMBARI-6908
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-6908
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: Jonathan Hurley
            Assignee: Jonathan Hurley
             Fix For: 1.7.0


The design documentation (and JSON so far) has a label field for every AlertDefinition. This label field is really a description of the AlertDefinition. It's a human readable field that properly identifies the AlertDefintiion but is not unique (like the name).

Example:
{code}
 "NAMENODE": [
    {
      "name": "hdfs_capacity_check", // unique name
      "label": "HDFS Capacity Utilization",
...
{code}

Since this is a DDL change, it's desirable to have this in 1.7.0 since that's where the alert database model first appears (and prevents the need to write an upgrade for this field).
