I'm currently using Grafana version 9.4.7 with AWS CloudWatch as my data source. I have a panel where I'm monitoring the SumOffsetLag metric from the AWS/Kafka namespace. I have three dimensions in my setup: Cluster Name, Consumer Group, and Topic.

I'm trying to create an alert based on this panel. However, I'm encountering an issue with the dimension values in the alert configuration. Instead of getting individual values for each dimension, I'm getting all the dimension values concatenated together.

For example, instead of getting:

Cluster Name = Cluster Name
Consumer Group = Consumer Group
Topic = Topic

I'm getting:

Cluster Name = Cluster Name + ConsumerGroup + Topic
Consumer Group = Cluster Name + Consumer Group + Topic
Topic = Cluster Name + Consumer Group + Topic

enter image description here

This is causing issues with my alert configuration, as I'm not able to correctly reference the individual dimension values in the alert message.

I've tried various configurations and syntaxes, but I haven't been able to resolve this issue. I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to correctly reference the individual dimension values in the alert configuration.

Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Problem is usage of multiple wild char dimension values. Try to use max one '*'. – Jan Garaj Jul 19 '23 at 09:58
  • @JanGaraj Thank you for your suggestion. However, the use of wildcard '*' is crucial in my setup. I have multiple consumer groups, and I want the alert to be applicable to all of them. If I don't use the wildcard, the alert would be limited to a specific consumer group, which is not what I want. – OriM Jul 19 '23 at 13:41
  • Yes, I understand but that is pointer what can be a problem. So test it, prove that multiple usage of '*' is a problem and then you may open bug report. – Jan Garaj Jul 19 '23 at 16:23
