Description

Ambari now support creating/editing three kinds of alert dispatch targets by web wizard, including EMAIL,SNMP,Custom SNMP.
If we want to create another kind of alert dispatch target ALERT_SCRIPT for script-based alert dispatcher,we have to execute a command manually like following:

POST api/v1/alert_targets
    
    {
      "AlertTarget": {
        "name": "syslogger",
        "description": "Syslog Target",
        "notification_type": "ALERT_SCRIPT",
        "global": true
      }
    }

or

POST api/v1/alert_targets

    {
      "AlertTarget": {
        "name": "syslogger",
        "description": "Syslog Target",
        "notification_type": "ALERT_SCRIPT",
        "global": false,
        "groups":[1,3]
        "alert_states":["WARNING","CRITICAL","UNKNOWN"],
        "properties": {
          "ambari.dispatch-property.script": "com.mycompany.dispatch.syslog.script"
        }
      }
    }

More details, please see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Creating+a+Script-based+Alert+Dispatcher+-+2.4.0

We should do this by web wizard rather than command line, which will lead to more convenience
We think it is really helpeful for us when using script-based alert dispatcher.
