Hands On Notifications and Alerting in Dynatrace

In this episode of DynaLabs, we're exploring notifications and alerting in #Dynatrace with Technical Product Specialist David Rodriguez from Dynatrace ONE!
Notifications and alerting in Dynatrace are essential features that help you stay informed about potential issues and take action to resolve them promptly. Dynatrace continuously monitors your environment for anomalies and deviations from expected behavior, and when it detects a problem, it triggers alerts to notify relevant individuals or teams.

where we need ti declare that id?

[@dynatrace]

Hello, and thank you for the question!
Every time a problem is raised, a unique ID is automatically assigned to it. So, there is no need to declare them.
Leveraging placeholders, allows us to dynamically collect those values and use them in fields like summary, description, etc.
Below you can see what a static text looks like (where the content doesn't change), vs how a dynamic text looks like (it adapts and changes accordingly to each situation).
"Problem P-1234 has been opened" vs "Problem {ProblemID} has been opened"
If we use the first example, every notification message would state that P-1234 has been opened. In the second example, we will see that P-3468, P-1469, or P-7839.... has been opened.
We hope that helps answer your question! Please let us know if you may have others.
