I am sending REST JSON payloads from vrops to a SHIM server. Based on the vrops doc this is the payload
"startDate":1369757346267,
"criticality":"ALERT_CRITICALITY_LEVEL_WARNING",
"resourceId":"sample-object-uuid",
"alertId":"sample-alert-uuid",
"status":"ACTIVE",
"subType":"ALERT_SUBTYPE_AVAILABILITY_PROBLEM",
"cancelDate":1369757346267,
"resourceKind":"sample-object-type",
"adapterKind":"sample-adapter-type",
"type":"ALERT_TYPE_APPLICATION_PROBLEM",
"resourceName":"sample-object-name",
"updateDate":1369757346267,
"info":"sample-info"
We use the SHIM to change the above names to different ones that our upstream service uses
The problem i have is the info field is the description that is configured in the alert definition. I would have thought that this would be the alert message which has specific info in it for the alert
Is this a bug or by design and if by design why does it not sent the alert message
