evaluation_delay
(added in 2.7)
 Default:
None
Time to delay evaluation (in seconds). It is effective for sparse values.

bool

(added in 2.2)
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
A boolean indicating whether changes to this monitor should be restricted to the creator or admins.
message
A message to include with notifications for this monitor. Email notifications can be sent to specific users by using the same '@username' notation as events. Monitor message template variables can be accessed by using double square brackets, i.e '[[' and ']]'.
name
required
The name of the alert.
new_host_delay
(added in 2.4)
A positive integer representing the number of seconds to wait before evaluating the monitor for new hosts. This gives the host time to fully initialize.
no_data_timeframe Default:
2x timeframe for metric, 2 minutes for service
The number of minutes before a monitor will notify when data stops reporting. Must be at least 2x the monitor timeframe for metric alerts or 2 minutes for service checks.

bool
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
A boolean indicating whether tagged users will be notified on changes to this monitor.
notify_no_data
bool
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
A boolean indicating whether this monitor will notify when data stops reporting..
query
The monitor query to notify on with syntax varying depending on what type of monitor you are creating.
renotify_interval
The number of minutes after the last notification before a monitor will re-notify on the current status. It will only re-notify if it's not resolved.
require_full_window
(added in 2.3)
A boolean indicating whether this monitor needs a full window of data before it's evaluated. We highly recommend you set this to False for sparse metrics, otherwise some evaluations will be skipped.
silenced Default:
Dictionary of scopes to timestamps or None. Each scope will be muted until the given POSIX timestamp or forever if the value is None.
state
required
    Choices:
  • present
  • absent
  • mute
  • unmute
The designated state of the monitor.
tags

A list of tags to associate with your monitor when creating or updating. This can help you categorize and filter monitors.
thresholds Default:
{u'warning': 1, u'ok': 1, u'critical': 1}
A dictionary of thresholds by status. This option is only available for service checks and metric alerts. Because each of them can have multiple thresholds, we don't define them directly in the query."]
timeout_h
The number of hours of the monitor not reporting data before it will automatically resolve from a triggered state.
type
    Choices:
  • metric alert
  • service check
  • event alert
The type of the monitor.
The 'event alert'is available starting at Ansible 2.1
