📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Gotify webhook configuration example with secret-based authentication, templated payload fields, Markdown alert rendering, and related Alertmanager documentation updates.

Changes

Gotify webhook documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gotify webhook configuration
examples/webhook/gotify.yml
Defines a Gotify receiver with bearer-token authentication, resolved notifications, Markdown formatting, conditional priority, and templated alert messages.
Gotify usage documentation
docs/notification_examples.md, docs/configuration.md
Documents Gotify payload setup, links to additional webhook payload examples, adds reusable HTML email template guidance, and changes the PagerDuty template function to toJson.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 469fd

The PR adds a Gotify webhook example that uses potentially unsafe Markdown content, omits a finite request timeout, and documents authorization behavior inconsistently with the configuration. These issues could cause unintended remote requests or unreliable authenticated delivery, so merge should wait for correction or explicit owner acceptance.

- Line 38: Update the Gotify priority template in the webhook example to remove
the surrounding quotes, so firing and non-firing statuses render integer values
5 and 0 rather than strings. Apply the same change to the mirrored Gotify
example in docs/notification_examples.md.

Why not use the native secrets handler?

alertmanagerSpec.secrets:
    - gotify-secret
config.receivers:
  - name: gotify
    http_config:
      authorization:
        credentials_file: /etc/alertmanager/secrets/gotify-secret/token

But wait that would result in a header: Authorization: <Type> <Token>

Unless you intentionally change the type: in that specific block, it sends Authorization: Bearer <token> as expected by gotify

or through a header named Authorization with the value prefixed with Bearer (Ex. Bearer randomtoken

- Around line 35-58: The Gotify template currently renders interpolated alert
data as Markdown, allowing untrusted values to introduce remote resources.
Update the `extras` `client::display` configuration to use `text/plain` instead
of `text/markdown`, while preserving the existing alert message content.
- Around line 26-32: Add a finite webhook timeout to the gotify webhook
configuration, placing it alongside the existing webhook settings such as
send_resolved and http_config. Choose a deployment-appropriate duration shorter
than the Alertmanager group_interval so slow requests fail promptly while
preserving retry behavior.
