📝 Summary

In metric threshold and new threshold rules, we have two/three types of actions that can be generated:

• Alert (when the specified condition/threshold was met)
• No data (When the result of the query is null)
  • When there are no successful shards
• Warning (when the specified warning condition was met) --> N/A to the new threshold rule

As shown below, we have settings to control no data behavior for the metric threshold rule, but we are now removing this from the new threshold rule.

❓Question

Suppose that we have different actions for alert/warning/no data. In that case, how can we also send the recovered messages to the same group as we sent the alert?

Different action states	An example scenario

Previously, we had a field called originalAlertState in action context with the following logic:

const translateActionGroupToAlertState = (
  actionGroupId: string | undefined
): string | undefined => {
  if (actionGroupId === FIRED_ACTIONS.id) {
    return stateToAlertMessage[AlertStates.ALERT];
  }
  if (actionGroupId === NO_DATA_ACTIONS.id) {
    return stateToAlertMessage[AlertStates.NO_DATA];
  }
};

We don't want to save this information in AAD for the new rule, but we were wondering how this case can be covered when conditional actions are introduced.

Use-cases

1. Separate warning recovered message
2. Separate Recovered action conditions for Warning and Alert (145418) -> The issue was previously solved by adding an action context variable, check the related PR for more info.
