Configure deduplication key

The Set Your Deduplication Key section of the Create Your Own Integration (CYOI) page allows you to preview, edit, and test your deduplication key, which is used to group similar events into alerts. This key is an aggregation of relevant event fields.

  • By default, APEX AIOps Incident Management uses the source, class, service, and check fields to identify events. If you do not map all of these fields, then only the fields in this default set that you have mapped are included in the deduplication key.

  • You can rearrange the order of the fields in the deduplication key. This does not affect deduplication, but changing the order may make the key easier to read the key when it displays in alerts.

  • To test your key, click Test Deduplication Key. If the key does not pass, make any necessary changes by adding or removing fields and test it again.

  • To learn more about how deduplication works, read Deduplicate events to reduce noise and Events, alerts, and incidents.

Note

Customizing deduplication is an advanced feature. Use the recommended fields unless the default deduplication does not meet your needs.
