Alert properties

List of properties

All alerts send the same list of properties across all alert types, they relate to both:

• The alert that you set on Sonar

• The event that triggered your alert

Below are the properties passed in the json:

key	type	options
event_id	int	Open
timestamp	timestamptz	Open
type	string	Limited to 4
alert_name	string	Open
event_verbose	string	Open
domain	string	Open

The event_verbose has been added to allow further flexibility on the way you use the alert.

As opposed to event properties or company properties, alert properties are not sent in a nested json but rather sent directly in the first level of the json object as shown below:

{
  "event_id": 458325, // Not nested
  "timestamp": "2020-04-23T12:25:32.209Z", // Not nested
  "type": "technology_removed", // Not nested
  "alert_name": "Hotjar deleted", // Not nested
  "event_verbose": "Wine Central removed Hotjar", // Not nested
  "domain": "winecentral.co.nz", // Not nested
  "event_properties": {
    "technology_name": "Hotjar",
    "technology_domain": "https://www.hotjar.com/",
    "technology_category": "Analytics"
  },
  "company_properties": {
