Link Definitions
Link Definitions is where you can make links available directly in Situation and Alert Views using Situation and Alert data and custom_info.
This is useful for linking directly to a corresponding ticket on a third-party system.
Create a new Link Definition
To create a new Link Definition, click the
icon in the bottom left corner.
Fill in the three available fields to define the Link Definition:
| Field | Input | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | String (Mandatory) | This is the text name that will appear in Situation/Alert column configuration. |
| Link | String (Mandatory) | This is the destination of the link including any query terms. There is no limit to the number of characters. |
| Display | String (Optional) | This is the text that will appear in Situation and Alert Views when the link definition is used. |
Note
Please note : The Link value can contain a $ reference to Alert or Situation fields. Display fields only allows $value substitution
Example
The screenshot below illustrates a link definition to carry out a Google search on the
$value
query term. When used in a Situation or Alert column, it displays a link "Google <$value>".
