This page describes the messages Sifflet posts to Google Chat. To connect a Google Chat space, see Google Chat. To choose which monitors notify which spaces, see Notification rules.

Incident messages

Message	When it is sent
Incident created	A new incident has been opened. The message shows the monitor that opened it.
Incident updated	A monitor was added to an incident that already existed.
Incident closed	The incident is closed. It is posted to every channel the incident has notified.

Monitor messages

These messages are sent when a monitor is not tied to an incident.

Message	When it is sent
Monitor failure	A monitor run failed its threshold.
Monitor needs attention	A run could not reach a verdict: a technical error, or a run that requires a human look.
Monitor recovered	The monitor is passing again, after failing or needing attention.

Differences with other channels

Google Chat does not receive successful monitor runs (MONITOR_SUCCESS). They would otherwise flood the space with one message per successful run.
Messages are not edited in place. Closing an incident or a monitor recovering posts a new message.
Assignment notifications are sent by email only.

See the Notification catalog for the complete list.
