Hey @tim.davis,
First of all, there’s no stupid questions
!
Second of all, there isn’t a video showing the new feature on Templated Descriptions in Alerts but let me see if i can offer some help.
Just below the Name field for your alert condition, theres a space for the description. The description will show up when you get a notificaiton on the notification channel you’ve configured for the policy.
Here I have used the example from the docs page Brian Goleno linked above to show how it looks in the New Relic Infrastructure Alerts interface. I have {{ tag.fullHostname }}
attribute in my description text. This will be converted to the actual hostname when I get an alert meeting this condition.
Here’s an example of an email alert notification. You will see that the {{tag.fullHostname}} and {{conditionName}} attributes have been parsed into their corresponding values.
You can find what all attributes are supported for Alert Descriptions at this link:
https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/alerts/new-relic-alerts/defining-conditions/violation-event-attributes
Let me know if there’s anything else you needed clarification on, I hope that these visual aides helped you understand how to use the Templated Descriptions feature a bit better.
