Hi there,
you cannot combine smartalerts with these kinds of custom events. You need to use the legacy alert function and select the events using dynamic focus query with something like "event.text".

Hello Mike,
I am trying the same scenario mentioned by Peter and facing the same issue. I have created a custom event through Agent REST API with the below API call.
curl -XPOST http://localhost:42699/com.instana.plugin.generic.event -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title":"Custom API Event Test", "text": "Failure Redeploying Service Duration", "duration": 600000, "severity": 10}'
We can see an event got created for the above curl call. But unable to configure Alert for the event which got created. I am sharing the steps below.
1. Event got created after the curl call
2. I am trying to associate an Alert for this event but unable to do so. Can you please check this in your environment and share the steps to create an alert.Generic events ale not listed in Instana and cannot be selected under events when creating new alert.
3. Create new alert
4. Trying to Add Event. Custom Event created through the curl command is not appearing.
5. If we try via Smart Alert, we don't see Custom Event Option.

Hi Peter, could you expand a bit on the outcome that you are trying to achieve? We have a recent blog post about how to create a SmartAlert on Custom a Event to monitor business metrics. Maybe this is what you are looking to do, and the screenshots in this blog will help.

Hello.
We are testing Instana generic event using Instana Agent REST api (http://localhost:42699/com.instana.plugin.generic.event).
Is it possible to create Alert for specific generic Event to send notification on email or other target?
Generic events ale not listed in Instana and cannot be selected under events when creating new alert.
Thank you.
Regards, Peter
