[Bug]: Cannot create an alert for a metric collected by python.d/haproxy collector #1117
Description
Bug description
I'm monitoring haproxy using the python.d/haproxy plugin. The metrics show up in Netdata Cloud:
I'd like to create an alert for this metric – get notified when the number of active connections crosses a defined threshold.
Netdata Docs say I should navigate to the graph, click on alert icon, click "Add Alert", set thresholds and submit to nodes. I did that. Afterwards, a failed job configuration appeared in Manage Space > Configurations:
If I click on the pencil button, it looks like it's a configuration for the go.d/haproxy collector:
I'm thoroughly confused. Where did this job configuration came from? I do not have /etc/netdata/go.d/haproxy set on the agent nodes. Was this job auto-created by Netdata Cloud and somehow pushed down to the agents? I'm not sure if there's some confusion between go.d/haproxy and python.d/haproxy modules in Netdata Cloud. Or the documentation for setting up an alert is wrong.
Expected behavior
I have not set up custom alerts before so I am not sure what would be the expected end result. I assume I would be able to see the newly defined alert listed somewhere. I would not expect to see an erratic new collector configuration.
Steps to reproduce
- Set up Netdata agent with a python.d/haproxy configuration
- Hook it up to Netdata Cloud
- In Netdata Cloud try to create a custom alert for one of the haproxy metrics
