How to search alerts when description are in json format?

[Olivier Truong]

Hello,

we have some alerts whose description are in a json format. For example a description would be like

 {"key": "value", "key2":"value2"}

How can we search the alerts to find them? I tried something like 

description:"{\"key\": \"value\"}" 

or

description:"*value*"

but nothing is returned.

Thanks for your help!

Hello @Olivier Truong ,

I'm Shashwat from the Opsgenie support team :) 

Please note that the JSON query search is not supported currently in the alert description field.

I tried the same in my test lab and saw that we're not able to search for the key name or the key-value when it's parsed inside the description field in the JSON format.

Instead, you can use the details.key or the details.value field to search for the extra property name or value in Opsgenie, provided they are getting parsed inside alert extra property fields from the description field.

Please refer to the below documents link on how to parse the description field inside the Extra Property for the Opsgenie alerts:

Best,
