Event Dimensions

• When crafting your Event Dimensions keep in mind:

  1. Must be valid JSON
  2. When running the action using datapaths in modern playbook, curly bracket characters that are not datapath references must be escaped with an additional curly bracket. E.G. { becomes {{
     Example Dimensions Input: {{\"description\":\"{0}\",\"tag\":\"{1}\"}}
     where {0} and {1} represent datapaths.

• Dimension key criteria:

  1. Maximum length can be 128 characters
  2. Must start with an uppercase or lowercase letter
  3. After the first character, the name can contain letters, numbers, underscores (_), and hyphens (-)
  4. Spaces in dimension keys are not allowed
  5. If the dimension key does not match the criteria then the action may pass but event will not be created on SignalFx portal
