Chiming in here as I'm encountering similar issues.
While investigating, I found out that discord's support of markdown is somewhat limited, and doesn't include images. The
$EVENT_MSG
and$INCIDENT_MSG
vars in datadog both include an image markdown link, but since discord doesn't support it, it will instead always display that ugly[![Metric Graph](https://...)
Additionally after doing some additional testing, I confirmed that sometimes the thumbnail image won't display because
$SNAPSHOT
URL will point to an image that hasn't been generated yet. The solution would be to wait a little bit before displaying the message, but I don't think there's a way to do that with discord (I'm considering creating a simple app that waits/processes the message before it reaches discord to fix the issue...).For now, I'm using this setup, which is admittedly less "complete", but is concise & clear at a glance, even without the image. Somehow in my testing the image seems to render much more often, though I could have just been lucky:
{ "avatar_url": "https://cdn-1.webcatalog.io/catalog/datadog/datadog-icon.png", "embeds": [ { "title": "$ALERT_TITLE", "color": 6499494, "url": "$LINK", "description": "### $EVENT_TITLE\n$ALERT_STATUS", "image": { "url": "$SNAPSHOT" } }, { "fields": [ { "name": "tags", "value": "$TAGS", "inline": true } ] } ] }
the avatar is nice but i still dont see graph image.
Yeah it's a dice roll whether Datadog creates the image in time before discord receives & shows the post. I don't think there's a way around that at the moment.
I really do need to create middleman app to fix this.
