Rule doesn't match sensor output

Hi,

I found out my rule doesn’t match with sensor output but unsure whats wrong. Any insight will be of much help

Sensor output:

2019-02-01 06:21:48,072 INFO [-] Processing event: {u'check_result': {u'check_source': u'xxx', u'exit_status': 2.0, u'vars_before': {u'state_type': 1.0, u'reachable': True, u'state': 2.0, u'attempt': 1.0}, u'type': u'CheckResult', u'vars_after': {u'state_type': 1.0, u'reachable': True, u'state': 2.0, u'attempt': 1.0}, u'execution_start': 1549002107.592814, u'schedule_end': 1549002108.066733, u'performance_data': [u'available_upgrades=3;;;0', u'critical_updates=3;;;0'], u'state': 2.0, u'command': xxx'], u'execution_end': 1549002108.066672, u'active': True, u'output': u'APT CRITICAL: xxx ', u'schedule_start': 1549002107.592504}, u'timestamp': 1549002108.066818, u'host': u'xxx', u'type': u'CheckResult', u'service': u'apt'}

Rule:

name: icinga_action
pack: icinga2
description: Post to chat when icinga2 service state changes
enabled: true
trigger:
  type: icinga2.event.state_change
#criteria:
#  trigger.type:

   trigger.type:
     type: "matchregex"
     pattern : "*exit_status*"
   trigger.state_type:
     type: "gt"
     pattern : "0.1"

action:
  ref: chatops.post_message
  parameters:

      {{trigger.check_result.output}}
    channel: 'xxxx'

Your data is not valid JSON. That is why the rule is not matching.

Look at your trigger instance, specifically the type: parameter - it is 'type': 'CheckResult'

But in your rule, you’re doing this:

   trigger.type:
     type: "matchregex"
     pattern : "*exit_status*"

exit_status is the name of a key within your trigger - it is not a value. Are you trying to check if that key exists, or are you trying to check that the exit_status key exists, and is a particular value?

Thanks @blag, @lhill: That solved the Issue.
