Templates ↰¶

IMPulse uses Jinja2-based templates. Templates allow you to modify certain messages.

Currently, you can write your own templates for thread messages and for tasks in task management.

Messages¶

There are 3 templates that users can customize as needed (see messages structure). These are:

status icons
header
body

Default template¶

The default body template supports 3 links:

source - link points to Prometheus query
runbook - link for runbook
task - link points to a task if it was created for the incident

runbook¶

To resolve incidents faster, you can add documentation links to your alerts. To attach a documentation link to an alert, use the special annotation field called runbook:

- alert: InstanceDown
  expr: up == 0
  annotations:
    runbook: https://your_domain.confluence.com/alerts/InstanceDown

IMPulse will display the runbook link in the incident view (see body). You can change the format to a convenient one and redefine template files.

Task Management¶

You can customize the Summary and Description templates used when creating tasks in the task management application.
