  • number of alerts fired

    Posted by bgent on December 21, 2006 at 20:45

    When an alert gets fired it is firing unlimited times until the module is back up. Where is the setting to have only 1 alert sent? The following is my alert setting:
    Alert association form
    151 Alert type1
    Min value1 Max value 1
    DescriptionRTP Down
    Field #1 (Alias, name)[email protected]
    Field #2 (Single Line)RTP Down
    Field #3 (Full Text)Check RTP
    Time threshold300 Other
    Min. number of alerts1 Max. number of alerts 1
    Assigned module This field can’t be changed while in Edition mode

    You need to use TimeThreshold in cooperation with max. number of alerts. In this setup, each 5 min alert systems “deletes” memory for last fired alert. If you want for example:

    Fire an alert when this goes down, and don’t frak me during one hour, then, if this thing continue to be down, fire another alert and wait another hour:

    Time threshold 3600 Other
    Min. number of alerts1 Max. number of alerts 1

    We are working for make a system that fires an alert when its go up, and before this module fired an alert because its go down. This comes with a more complex and featured alert system. All ideas at this respect will be welcomed !

    Thank you once again Nil. My only input at this point is to have this explained in the manaul as well. One feature I can think of is to be able to make the change to all alerts at the same time, instead of each one individually.

    I just include this example in the doc for future versions..
