The new version of Prometheus alert manager added support for fields section in slack attachments. I'm trying to setup a go template to loop generate fields for each alert label. After testing the config, I got syntax error "cannot read an implicit mapping pair; a colon is missed". Did anyone tried the same thing and succeed? Thanks very much. My config is below:
global:
resolve_timeout: 5m
templates:
- '/etc/alertmanager/template/*.tmpl'
route:
# All alerts in a notification have the same value for these labels.
group_by: ['alertname', 'instance', 'pod']
group_wait: 30s
group_interval: 5m
repeat_interval: 4h
receiver: 'slack-test'
routes:
# Go spam channel
- match:
alertname: DeadMansSwitch
receiver: 'null'
- name: 'slack-test'
slack_configs:
- channel: '#alert'
api_url: 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXX/XXXX/XXXX'
username: 'Prometheus Event Notification'
color: '{{ if eq .Status "firing" }}danger{{ else }}good{{ end }}'
title: '[`{{ .Labels.severity }}`] Server alert'
text: |-
{{ range .Alerts }}
{{ .Annotations.message }}
{{ end }}
short_fields: true
fields:
{{ range .Labels.SortedPairs }}
title:{{ .Name }}
value:`{{ .Value }}`
{{ end }}
send_resolved: true
#email_configs:
#- to: 'your_alert_email_address'
# send_resolved: true
- name: 'null'
Tried this not work too.
fields:
{{ range .Labels.SortedPairs }}
- title: {{ .Name }}
value: `{{ .Value }}`
{{ end }}
The issue is that you are using a go template inside the config file, but prometheus only supports go templating inside the config values. Title and Value both are of type "tmpl_string", meaning they are a string which is a go template. https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/configuration/#field_config
correct
fields:
title: '{{ if (true) }}inside the title VALUE{{ end }}'
value: 'foo'
incorrect
fields:
{{ if (true) }}outside the config values
title: 'inside the title VALUE'
value: 'foo'
{{ end }}

I have to send different alerts in 20 Slack channels based on some filter. My Alertmanager config file looks like (only two receiver as example):
global:
resolve_timeout: 1m
slack_api_url: '<slack_api_url>'
templates:
- 'slack_alert.tmpl'
route:
receiver: 'slack-admin'
routes:
- receiver: 'slack-ch1'
matchers:
- machine_group =~ ".*something1.*"
continue: true
receivers:
- name: 'slack-admin'
slack_configs:
- channel: '#slack-admin'
send_resolved: true
icon_url: https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/3380462
title: '{{ template "slack.slack_alert.title" .}}'
text: '{{ template "slack.slack_alert.text" .}}'
- name: 'slack-ch1'
slack_configs:
- channel: '#slack-ch1'
send_resolved: true
icon_url: https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/3380462
title: '{{ template "slack.slack_alert.title" .}}'
text: '{{ template "slack.slack_alert.text" .}}'
Is there any way to declare following block of code as global variable without tasting to al 20 channels?

Slack alert template is in Go templating form. Is it possible to integrate it with template?
I'm using Ansible to get a list of user emails from an API and I want to loop over them.
This is the json response I get from the API:
"users": [
{
"email": "email1#email.com",
"id": 1,
"is_admin": true
},
{
"email": "email2#email.com",
"id": 2,
"is_admin": false
},
]
edit:
the task after that which I need the email for:
- name: Send emails
register: result
uri:
url: http://api
method: GET
body_format: json
return_content: yes
body:
email: "{{ item.email }}"
scope: SCOPE
loop: "{{ users.json['users'] }}"
- name: Print result
debug:
var: result
the error I get:
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "template error while templating string: unexpected char '#' at 16. String: {{ email#email.com }}"}
If I use email: item.email the json request body will be "body": {"email": "item.email"} instead of the email value
How Can I get the full email of each user?
You need to remove the {{ and }} markers from your var: directive. The value of var is implicitly evaluated in a Jinja template context so you don't need those markers:
- name: Print returned json dictionary
debug:
var: item.email
loop: "{{ users.json['users'] }}"
(Updated based on edits to your question)
The example you've shown doesn't generate the error you're asking about. Here's a complete reproducer with just the uri changed:
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
users:
json:
users:
- email: email1#email.com
id: 1
is_admin: true
- email: email2#email.com
id: 2
is_admin: false
tasks:
- name: Send emails
register: result
uri:
url: https://eny1tdcqj6ghp.x.pipedream.net
method: GET
body_format: json
return_content: true
body:
email: "{{ item.email }}"
scope: SCOPE
loop: "{{ users.json['users'] }}"
This runs without errors (although note that I'm suspicious about the
use of a GET request with a JSON body; typically you would expect
that to be a POST request).
You can see the result of running this playbook here, which shows that the values being sent in the request are exactly what we expect from the data.
I have the following variables in my var file:
repo_type:
hosted:
data:
- name: hosted_repo1
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
- name: hosted_repo2
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
proxy:
data:
- name: proxy_repo1
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
- name: proxy_repo2
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
group:
data:
- name: group_repo1
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
- name: group_repo2
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
I want to configure a task to to loop over (hosted,proxy and group) and body over data dict.
Here is the task:
- name: Create pypi hosted Repos
uri:
url: "{{ nexus_api_scheme }}://{{ nexus_api_hostname }}:{{ nexus_api_port }}\
{{ nexus_api_context_path }}{{ nexus_rest_api_endpoint }}/repositories/pypi/{{ item.key}}"
user: "{{ nexus_api_user }}"
password: "{{ nexus_default_admin_password }}"
headers:
accept: "application/json"
Content-Type: "application/json"
body_format: json
method: POST
force_basic_auth: yes
validate_certs: "{{ nexus_api_validate_certs }}"
body: "{{ item }}"
status_code: 201
no_log: no
with_dict: "{{ repo_type}}"
I have tried with_items, with_dict and with_nested but nothing helped.
The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'data'
Any help would be appreciated!
If your goal is to loop over the contents of the data keys as a flat list, you could do it like this:
- debug:
msg: "repo {{ item.name }} write_policy {{ item.storage.write_policy }}"
loop_control:
label: "{{ item.name }}"
loop: "{{ repo_type | json_query('*.data[]') }}"
That uses a JMESPath expression to get the data key from each
top-level dictionary, and then flatten the resulting nested list. In
other words, it transforms you original structure into:
- name: hosted_repo1
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
- name: hosted_repo2
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
- name: proxy_repo1
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
- name: proxy_repo2
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
- name: group_repo1
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
- name: group_repo2
online: true
storage:
blobstarage: default
write_policy: allow_once
When run using your example data, this produces as output:
TASK [debug] *********************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=hosted_repo1) => {
"msg": "repo hosted_repo1 write_policy allow_once"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=hosted_repo2) => {
"msg": "repo hosted_repo2 write_policy allow_once"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=proxy_repo1) => {
"msg": "repo proxy_repo1 write_policy allow_once"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=proxy_repo2) => {
"msg": "repo proxy_repo2 write_policy allow_once"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=group_repo1) => {
"msg": "repo group_repo1 write_policy allow_once"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=group_repo2) => {
"msg": "repo group_repo2 write_policy allow_once"
}
If you're trying to do something else, please update your question so
that it clearly shows the values you expect for each iteration of your
loop.
As reported by #larsk, you actually didn't manage to explain clearly how you are trying to loop over your data and what your api call is actually expecting.
But you are in luck this time since I have messed around with Nexus quite a bit (and I think I actually recognize those variable names and overall task layout)
The Nexus Repository POST /v1/repositories/pypi/[hosted|proxy|group] API endpoints are expecting one call for each of your repos in data. To implement your requirement you need to loop over the keys in repo_type to select the appropriate endpoint and then loop again over each element in data to send the repo definition to create.
This is actually possible combining a dict2items and subelements filters in your loop as in the below playbook (not directly tested).
The basics of the transformation are as follow:
transform your dict to a key/value list using dict2items e.g. (shortened example)
- key: hosted
value:
data:
- <repo definition 1>
- <repo definition 2>
[...]
use the subelements filter to combine each top element with each element in value.data e.g.:
- # <- This is the entry for first repo i.e. `item` in your loop
- key: hosted # <- this is the start of the corresponding top element i.e. `item.0` in your loop
value:
data:
- <repo definition 1>
- <repo definition 2>
- <repo definition 1> # <- this is the sub-element i.e. `item.1` in your loop
- # <- this is the entry for second repo
- key: hosted
value:
data:
- <repo definition 1>
- <repo definition 2>
- <repo definition 2>
[...]
Following one of your comments and from my experience, I added to my example an explicit json serialization of the repo definition using the to_json filter.
Putting it all together this gives:
- name: Create pypi hosted Repos
uri:
url: "{{ nexus_api_scheme }}://{{ nexus_api_hostname }}:{{ nexus_api_port }}\
{{ nexus_api_context_path }}{{ nexus_rest_api_endpoint }}/repositories/pypi/{{ item.0.key }}"
user: "{{ nexus_api_user }}"
password: "{{ nexus_default_admin_password }}"
headers:
accept: "application/json"
Content-Type: "application/json"
body_format: json
method: POST
force_basic_auth: yes
validate_certs: "{{ nexus_api_validate_certs }}"
body: "{{ item.1 | to_json }}"
status_code: 201
no_log: no
loop: "{{ repo_type | dict2items | subelements('value.data') }}"
Is there a possibility in Helm to generate a file from a yaml template?
I need to create a configuration that is dynamic depending on the setup.
I need to add it as a secret/configuration file to the container when starting it.
Update:
This is the file contents that I would like to parameterize:
version: 1.4.9
port: 7054
debug: {{ $debug }}
...
tls:
enabled: {{ $tls_enable }}
certfile: {{ $tls_certfile }}
keyfile: {{ $tls_keyfile }}
....
ca:
name: {{ $ca_name }}
keyfile: {{ $ca_keyfile }}
certfile: {{ $ca_certfile }}
....
affiliations:
{{- range .Values.Organiza }}: []
All these values are
I don't have a clue how to pass this file contents into ConfigMap or any other k8s object that would generate a final version of the file.
I'm trying to write a role to configure a keepalived cluster. I was hoping to pass unique info into the a template based on the IP of the target box.
In this scenario: Server A is 192.168.1.140 and Server B is 192.182.1.141 and the VIP would be 192.168.1.142
the dictionary would look something like this:
---
192.168.1.140:
peer: 192.168.1.141
priority: 110
vip: 192.168.1.142
192.1.168.1.141
peer:192.168.1.140
priority: 100
vip: 192.168.1.142
I was hoping the task would look like this:
---
- name: keepalived template
template:
src: keepalived.j2
dest: /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf
owner: root
group: root
mode: 0644
with_dict: '{{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}'
and the template would look like this:
}
vrrp_instance VI_1 {
interface eth0
priority {{ item.value.priority }}
...
unicast_scr {{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}
unicast_peer {
{{ item.value.peer }}
}
virtual_ipaddresses {
{{ item.value.vip }} }
}
Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Group your peers details under some common dictionary:
---
peer_configs:
192.168.1.140:
peer: 192.168.1.141
priority: 110
vip: 192.168.1.142
192.1.168.1.141
peer:192.168.1.140
priority: 100
vip: 192.168.1.142
with_... is generally for looping, you don't need any loop, as I see, so use:
- name: keepalived template
template:
src: keepalived.j2
dest: /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf
owner: root
group: root
mode: 0644
vars:
peer_config: '{{ peer_configs[ansible_default_ipv4.address] }}'
and template:
vrrp_instance VI_1 {
interface eth0
priority {{ peer_config.priority }}
...
unicast_scr {{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}
unicast_peer {
{{ peer_config.peer }}
}
virtual_ipaddresses {
{{ peer_config.vip }} }
}
