Feature - Add Issues Creation on Monitoring Rules

Hello,

Not sure if this is a feature request (I believe it is) or a “how to” but need to get Monitoring Rules to create an Issue in the Issues Application, exactly how a health check does.

With Health Checks creating issues naturally it seems like a good fit for Monitoring Rules to do the same. We have a process of managing health checks through the Issues application and are wanting to expand.

Thanks in advance,

Hey,

The FR makes sense, though it’s not one of our immediate priorities.

It could be worked around today (albeit being quite finicky), by using the Webhook integration in Monitoring Views. You could create a webhook that creates issues as you need, and if you can’t shove sufficient logic into the webhook to call the issues api, you could create a Function that calls the issues api (via another webhook), then have the Monitoring View call a Webhook that calls this function:

Monitoring View → Webhook A → Function → Webhook B → Issues API

Hello @adalgleish,

Yeah I was hoping to avoid that need, I don’t understand why Health Checks would have the ability to automatically create issues but Monitoring Rules do not when, in my opinion, Monitoring Rules and Health Checks are serving the same purpose but on different resource types. They even roll up into a Monitoring View which has notification options, seems like an easy fit to have one of the notification options be the creation of an issue.

Yes I agree that in theory it makes total sense. It’s just something that hasn’t been implemented yet

Hello,

Yeah that’s why I wanted to submit this as a feature request. Is there a way to know if this is on the roadmap? Trying to gauge whether or not I should pursue alternatives.

It’s currently unprioritised so unfortunately have no timeline for you

Hello,

Is this development community the preferred way of submitting a feature request?

Yes, and I’ve added a task in our internal backlog.

Sorry again that I can offer no timelines

No worries, thanks for adding to the backlog!
