Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.

Summary

The environment field of the GitLab alert is not shown in the the Alert list and the Alert Details page when they are parsed and mapped properly, but the environment does not exist in the project. This can feel like data loss for users. The environment value should still be displayed.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to any project -> Settings -> Alerts

  2. Click "Create new integration" and choose an integration of type "HTTP Endpoint".

  3. Give the integration the name "test" and enable the integration

  4. Set the mapping "Environment" == alerts[0].labels.environment

  5. Provide the following example payload:


{
  "receiver": "webhook",
  "status": "firing",
  "alerts": [
    {
      "status": "firing",
      "labels": {
        "alertname": "Test",
        "dc": "eu-west-1",
        "instance": "localhost:9090",
        "job": "prometheus24",
        "environment": "eng"
      },
      "annotations": {
        "description": "some description"
      },
      "startsAt": "2018-08-03T09:52:26.739266876+02:00",
      "endsAt": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
      "generatorURL": "http://localhost:9090/graph?g0.expr=go_memstats_alloc_bytes+%3E+0\u0026g0.tab=1"                                                                                  
    }
  ],
  "groupLabels": {
    "alertname": "Test",
    "job": "prometheus24"
  },
  "commonLabels": {
    "alertname": "Test",
    "dc": "eu-west-1",
    "instance": "localhost:9090",
    "job": "prometheus24"
  },
  "commonAnnotations": {
    "description": "some description"
  },
  "externalURL": "http://localhost:9093",
  "version": "4",
  "groupKey": "{}:{alertname=\"Test\", job=\"prometheus24\"}"
}
