Variables¶

DepC allows you to declare a variable that can be reused in your indicator parameters.

A variable can be of the following types :

a string
a text
a number

You can create it in the Variables menu within your team, for example :

Warning

Checks are renamed Indicators. But the variable namespace prefix remains depc.check. for now.

Here we declare a variable in the Indicator level : it means {{ depc.check.location }} will be replaced by the FR2 value in all uses.

Levels¶

To be as flexible as possible, DepC supports 4 levels of variables :

Team : {{ depc.team.myTeamVar }}
Rule : {{ depc.rule.myRuleVar }}
Source : {{ depc.source.mySourceVar }}
Indicator (previously Check) : {{ depc.check.myIndicatorVar }}

Builtins Variables¶

By default 3 builtins variables are available :

Name : {{ depc.name }}
Start: {{ depc.start }}
End: {{ depc.end }}

These variables represent the 3 arguments sent to every indicators when launching a rule :

Jinja2 Templating¶

After declaring it, you can reuse your variables with the Jinja2 syntax (calling the variables can be done within the {{ ... }} delimiters).

Note

You can use the iso8601 filter after your timestamp variables : it will convert the timestamp into its iso8601 value ({{ depc.start | iso8601 }}).

You can also use the Jinja2 conditions. For example your can filter your timeseries by tags if the name was sent during the rule execution :
