Discord Notification Formatting Help

I found a custom discord.yaml template online that is almost perfect for me, however, it didn't have the

target_fqdn

target_fqdn

in it. I've been trying to figure out how to add it with the same style as the rest of the notification. As you see in the image everything is printing correctly but I cant get each

target_fqdn

target_fqdn

to be surrounded with backticks. Any help is appreicated.

below is part of the fields section of my discord.yaml

So returns plain strings, not an array of strings like does so your replace functions wont do anything as the values are not inside an array.

Loz•6/2/25, 6:29 PM

Hence there no quotes to replace them with backticks

WillpowerOP•6/2/25, 7:08 PM

How would you recommend doing it then? Or is it not possible

_KaszpiR_•6/3/25, 6:02 AM

for a start try:

__KaszpiR_for a start try: ``` "value": "`{{ GetMeta $alert "target_fqdn" | join "\\n"}}`"...

You can do

Loz•6/3/25, 9:39 AM

this will get the

target_fqdn

target_fqdn

reduce the duplicates and then print each value in backticks

Loz•6/3/25, 9:41 AM

Loz•6/3/25, 9:45 AM

if you want a single one that has newlines within it.

I wasnt able to get the tester working. What am i missing here?

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 2:53 PM

i used to get the alert json

Loz•6/3/25, 2:53 PM

You have to put your own alert in the left hand side, note it needs to be

Loz•6/3/25, 2:53 PM

you can wrap your alert in

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 2:54 PM

was that the right command?

Loz•6/3/25, 2:54 PM

yes

Loz•6/3/25, 2:54 PM

to make it easier you can use

Loz•6/3/25, 2:54 PM

to get it to print a single line

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 2:55 PM

jq isnt found. must not be in this docker image

Loz•6/3/25, 2:55 PM

ahh it isnt anymore

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 2:56 PM

so i replace the { with [ on the first and last line?

Loz•6/3/25, 2:56 PM

no you wrap the whole object in

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 2:56 PM

ah, so above it

Loz•6/3/25, 2:56 PM

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 3:35 PM

im struggling getting your new line added to my entire yaml. im not getting any errors when testing the config but discord is denying the message

The alert sends but everything after country is cut off besides the map below it.
the base of the yaml was from github so im not sure how clean it is https://pastebin.com/xgmThHvx
If there's anything obvious please let me know

yamllint says its a valid yaml

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 3:52 PM

~~i got it working lol.~~ i was just missing the "" around the value on line 78

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 3:55 PM

well i spoke too soon... sometimes it works and somethings it doesnt depending the scenario

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 4:05 PM

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 4:08 PM

i also noticed I cannot reinject my notifications

WillpowerOP•6/3/25, 4:18 PM

i guess the vaultwarden-bf notification doesnt track the rest of the data? I dont see any of the missing fields when inspecting the alert for vw while they are all there for the jellyfinbf alert json

WWillpower i guess the vaultwarden-bf notification doesnt track the rest of the data? I don...

Loz•6/3/25, 9:52 PM

Yeah vaultwarden won't have any fqdn since it's not on the proxy level. So I guess we can add an if statement to check the length.

Cause I think discord rejects empty strings

Loz•6/3/25, 9:54 PM

I didn't see the paste you already got it.

Loz•6/3/25, 9:55 PM

So in short its working basically vaultwarden has no context and no fqdn so normal there nothing extra

WillpowerOP•6/4/25, 4:04 PM

Thanks again for the help. The only thing that’s not working is reinjecting the alerts to discord. Is that an issue on my end or is it an issue in crowdsec itself?
