Parameters

check

({{< req >}}) InfluxDB check data. See tickscript.defineCheck().

id

Function that returns the InfluxDB check ID provided by the check record. Default is (r) => "${r._check_id}".

details

Function to return the InfluxDB check details using data from input rows. Default is (r) => "".

message

Function to return the InfluxDB check message using data from input rows. Default is (r) => "Threshold Check: ${r._check_name} is: ${r._level}".

crit

Predicate function to determine crit status. Default is (r) => false.

warn

Predicate function to determine warn status. Default is (r) => false.

info

Predicate function to determine info status. Default is (r) => false.

ok

Predicate function to determine ok status. Default is (r) => true.

topic

Check topic. Default is "".

tables

Input data. Default is piped-forward data (<-).

Examples

Store alert statuses for error counts

import "contrib/bonitoo-io/tickscript"

option task = {name: "Example task", every: 1m}

check = tickscript.defineCheck(id: "000000000000", name: "Errors", type: "threshold")

from(bucket: "example-bucket")
    |> range(start: -task.every)
    |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "errors" and r._field == "value")
    |> count()
    |> tickscript.alert(
        check: {check with _check_id: "task/${r.service}"},
        message: "task/${r.service} is ${r._level} value: ${r._value}",
        crit: (r) => r._value > 30,
        warn: (r) => r._value > 20,
        info: (r) => r._value > 10,
    )
