KV

KV is a set of key value pairs, where each key and value is a string. If a KV happens to contain numbers or bools then these are string representations of the numeric or boolean value.

Here is an example of a KV, the annotations of an alert:

yaml
summary: 'A summary of the alert'
description: 'A description of the alert'

In addition to iterating over each key value pair, you can sort the pairs, remove keys, and iterate over just the keys or the values.

NameDescriptionArgumentsReturnsExample
SortedPairsSorts{{ .Annotations.SortedPairs }}
RemoveReturns a copy of the KV with the keys removed[]string{{ .Annotations.Remove "summary" }}
NamesA list of the names{{ .Names }}
ValuesA list of the values{{ .Values }}

Time

Time is from the Go time package. You can print a time in a number of different formats. For example, to print the time that an alert fired in the format Monday, 1st January 2022 at 10:00AM you would write the following template:

{{ .StartsAt.Format "Monday, 2 January 2006 at 3:04PM" }}

You can find a reference for Go’s time format here.
