ambari alerts tutorial for a beginner

Hi,

I am using ambari 2.0 for the past few days and I use ambari deployed with
cloudbreak and persicope by sequenceIQ. Hence while testing alerts, I found
that few of the alerts are not working. Hence I want to dig further on why
the alerts are not working as expected. But I couldn't come across any
documentation that explain the alerts system in detail like understanding
what the alert does. I have attached a sample alert definition. If there is
any such documentation can somebody please share the same?

Regards,
Malathi

The text that you posted is for a METRIC alert, which uses 1 or more JMX properties to calculate a single value to check. Argument {2} represents the result of the calculate, which is found in the “value” field of the alert definitely. In the example you posted, value is:


"value": "{0}/({0} + {1}) * 100"

So, {2} would be the result of that calculation.

"ok" :
{
      "text" : "Capacity Used:[{2:d}%, {0}], Capacity Remaining:[{1}]"
}

wherein the arguments {0} and {1} represent jmx data, CapacityUsed and CapacityRemaining respectively. But what does the argument {2} represent? Kindly somebody clarify.
