Make sure for every gui parameter you have a line in the default alert_actions.conf

[test_alert]
param.process_event =

ok so the add-on builder does not do this for you?

support has me using this

https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2962/

I can check the alert_actions.conf

I think ill need to SSH to it and use nano cause I don't recall that ability in the app.

thanks for your recomendation ill try that.

I tired this :

param.process_event="red_alert"

this is set as the alert action or the app name?

Can you expand on this? I'm encountering the same issue and adding the process_event parameter does nothing..
