Grafana newbie here, I've been messing with this problem and couldn't come up with any solutions. (Sorry my reputation is not high enough to post images...)
What I want to acheive
I'm trying to implement a high CPU usage alert, as well as providing the top 3 highest cpu usage processes.
My Parameters
I have query A monitoring an instance called
grafana-test
image
and query B getting the top 3 highest cpu usage processes usingprocess exporter
imageAs for my expressions, I set the threshold as follows, hoping I could get an alert if CPU usage exceeds 70%
imageHere are my annotations
image
When I stress test my vm to CPU 100%, the alert does trigger, however I am not getting any results from query B.
Expected Results
Grafana Alert send the following message to Slack
Summary: CPU usage at grafana-test has been above 70% for the last 5 minutes
Description: CPU usage: 100%
Top 3 Process
stress-ng: 97.2%grafana-agent: 1.8%google_osconfig: 0.2%
Some experiments and the results
I couldn't get a way to output any results from query B, I've tried looking for it in $values and tried directly accessing it through $labels.B0
{{$values}}outputs only A and C:map[A:100 C:1]{{$labels.B0}}outputs[no value]
