In Logz.io's ELK stack you have the ability to send alerts using a placeholder syntax such as
{{alert_event_samples}}
and
{{alert_title}}
I'm trying to track down any documentation that lists out all of these placeholders, because I'm in need of a placeholder that actually lists out all of the events, not just a sample.
I can't seem to find anything on this topic anywhere, other than some examples of how to integrate with other systems like slack.
Does anyone know where I can find anything on this?
This is Josh from Logz.io support, we currently do not have the ability to sent all the events that triggered an alert to the alert endpoint as this could be many thousands of events.
All the current available placeholders that can be used in the alert endpoint are shown in the example JSON when creating a custom endpoint. You can learn more about creating custom alert endpoints here.

So far, I have a conversational app that works with webhooks to my backend PHP server that sends JSON responses back to the Dialogflow API. So far, its working rather well.
The next step in the development would be to have the Google Assitant respond to the user with multi-part responses. I've seen the "Lucky Trivia" game do something similar (screenshot attached).
It is not clear to me how I can have the Assistant App generate multiple bubbles.
Some solutions I've tried:
Using rich responses with multiple parts
Generating SSML responses and using several <speak> or <p> tags
Using message objects
Using a followupEvent object
None of these have gotten me to the point Id like.
Rich responses will work for a maximum of two separate bubbles and no more.
SSML seems promising and is a great way to add prosody and sound bites, but everything I've tried will not deliver multi-part speech bubbles.
I can't find a syntax for message objects that works with "platform":"google". Indeed, specific support for platform=google isn't listed on that page, but I have seen it in some request/response JSON objects.
The followupEvent response seemed most promising, but as far as I can tell, the intent that triggers from the named event completely replaces the current response, it doesn't just add onto it.
So, my question is: What's the best strategy for getting similar multi-part messages on Google Assistant using DialogFlow?
Optimally, I'd like to fire new requests to my webhook sequentially, but building one large response containing all parts is a viable option if necessary.
How does Lucky Trivia do this?
I suspect that Lucky Trivial is able to get around the rules because it was made by Google and doesn't use the same library that we do. But let's look at each of your attempts and then some possible other approaches.
What doesn't work
As you note, RichResponses are limited to only two SimpleResponses which translate to two text bubbles. You could make larger responses, but there is still a suggested limit of 300 characters per bubble, and a hard limit of 640 characters.
The SSML responses, as the name suggests, are about what you hear - not so much what you see.
Message objects are turned into native platform objects anyway, so unless there was some way to support it in Google (and there isn't), then you can't do it.
Follow-up events are specifically documented to ignore the text that is returned from the original event. Their entire point is to delegate processing to the other intent.
What might work: Cards
This doesn't look exactly the same as what you want, but one way to get additional text included that is separate from the two bubbles is through a Basic card as one of the rich response items. You can even do some basic formatting in the card and include graphics.
More complicated: Media Response
Including a Media response object with the rich response items is a way you can send multiple responses to the user without having to wait for them to say something. In this way, you can get multiple text bubbles in a row without the user having to reply.
The trick is that you'll send the two simple responses in the rich response, and then include a Media response with a very short, and possibly silent, audio file.
After the audio file finished playing, you'll get an intent that indicates the media has finished playing. You can then send another reply with one or two more simple responses. If necessary, you can repeat this.
There are some downsides - the media player will show while it is playing, which will interrupt the bubbles, but once done it should clear. There will also be a pause in between some of the bubbles. But playing audio might also enhance your reply.
I got the following feedback from Google team:
When a user says "help" to your agent, it does not actually provide any guidance for what a user can say or ask for, it just says "sure, assistants are here to help"
My webhook is implemented in Spring Boot. Any idea how my web service can respond to help requests?
Since you're using API.AI, that sounds like it might be one of the default responses that are built-in to the Small Talk Domain. You'll probably want to do two things:
Turn off the Small Talk Domain by clicking on the Domains menu on the left and then turning the switch on the Small Talk domain (it should be the first one) off.
Make your own Intent to handle the "help" command (and possibly a few other related statements) by setting these in the User Says section of the Intent. You can have this intent fulfilled by sending it to your webhook by checking the Use Webhook box in the Fulfillment section, but for simple text responses this probably isn't necessary. Just have the Intent return a short help message describing what can be done by adding text to the Response area.
Some suggestions and things to consider when writing your help intent or intents:
Make the response relatively short. This is text that, when read, can't be interrupted.
Consider context-sensitive help by using Input Contexts to determine the state of the conversation at that moment. A user asking for help after a particular prompt should get information that helps them at that prompt.
Allow for multiple ways to ask for help in the User Says section. Phrases like "I'm confused" may also be good to trigger help.
Allow for asking for help on specific topics by using multiple intents that provide different answers. These may be tied to the Contexts as well.
I'm having a problem with the events I'm sending to Facebook Insights. I've got about 15 custom events I'm sending, and they all carry a data object that is pretty consistent between all the events. 10 of the events show up with the data object working fine (see graphic User Logged In/Out events), and for the rest, I'm getting "No data is available for the current selection." (see graphic Story Played/Selected events).
I believe with one event I shortened the Event Type, and the data started displaying properly. I tried this with other events, and that didn't fix the problem. Has anyone had this sort of problem before, and could you please comment about your solution?
I'm using Adobe AIR for mobile, running on Android, using the Milkman Games GoViral ANE. Another important factor here is that I'm sending these exact same events to a different analytics service - Mixpanel. All the events look correct on Mixpanel, so I'm pretty sure I'm sending them out properly. My assumption at the moment is that Facebook doesn't like something specific about some of my events.
I'm interested in any comments about this general kind of issue, regardless of platform or implementation, to see if I can figure out what's going wrong. I know my app setup is not so common, so for the sake of this question I'd like to ignore that for the time being.
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
I answered my own question. It turns out Facebook Insights events have a limit of 10 properties per event. Once I reduced the data being sent, the other events started tracking properly.
In sharepoint 2010 I need to be able to set a review date on a document and be emailed when this review date is reached. Is this possible?
Thanks for any pointers
I would create a very simple Workflow for this. You could just fire up Sharepoint Designer, create a small Workflow which checks whether the document in question has been reviewed and otherwise send an e-mail or a task to some person.
Try out Sharepoint Designer & Workflows if you haven't done so. Reminders are a very easy thing to do.
This answer details a few different ways to do this - workflow, scheduled jobs, open source and commercial add-ons.
Dated reminders in sharepoint calendars
To make it the most robust solution, I would suggest to customize the Alerts framework of SharePoint. SharePoint allows following customizations (as documented here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb802949.aspx)
Adding or removing buttons from the
alert e-mails.
Changing the cascading style sheet
used to format e-mail alerts. This is
particularly useful for sites that
want to create a consistent
appearance.
Changing the latency of "immediate"
alerts by adjusting the default timer
interval.
Override the templates used to create
e-mail or SMS alerts, either by
creating a new template or by setting
the SPList.AlertTemplate property.
Creating custom filters by using Collaborative Application Markup
Language (CAML) queries in the
element in the alert
templates.
Programmatically setting or changing
the mobile messaging service provider
(MSP) that forwards SMS alerts to
mobile telephones.
Adding custom event handlers that
respond when a user creates or
modifies an alert. Also, custom
handlers that respond to the alert
sending event can be created.
Programming the alerts framework by
using the SharePoint Foundation
object model. For more information
about how to customize alerts
programmatically, see SPAlert.
If your list supports sending alerts based on a View, you are lucky, A NO CODE SOLUTION is already there for you. You can create a View with filter condition like "DueDate is equal to [Today]" (and possibly "AssignedTo is equal to [Me]) and then subscribe to any changes to that view.
If you end up with custom alert filter, following links may get you started:

I have been using Flurry.com to capture my analytical data for my iPhone app. I send them custom event information about what is going on in my application (registration/login/etc). I pass extra information with these events. Now I want to access this information and analyze it. How do I do that?
On their website I can see small 'pages' of information captured from my app. I can even 'export to CSV' a small 'page' of this data. But I do not see a way to export all of the data for a given period of time. Am I missing something?
I found api.flurry.com RESTful API today, but again it looks like I can only make two different calls that seem kind of useless (AppMetrics/AppInfo) and only return information for canned metrics. I really want to get at the custom events and custom event data that I sent to them. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any help.
There now appears to be EventMetrics API call, it allows you to request information about your Events.
I received the following response from Flurry:
I apologize for the inconvenience. We will eventually be expanding Flurry's API functionality to include events data. But until that occurs you should be able to access your event's data via Flurry's CSV files.
It looks like my data is stuck inside of Flurry.com right now. I think I better re-think my analytics strategy. I need my data out of Flurry.com and into my own data warehouse!
Update:
Flurry has now implemented its events data API. However, if you want to do custom analytics on the custom data that you send, you will probably be disappointed. The output of a call to the events data API is a summary, not your original logs.
