Alert Trigger #4682

MFalkner ·

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, as this topic was already addressed about a decade ago.
The alerts are being triggered periodically.
This weekend, one of the disks on an agent exceeded the limit.
On Monday, I had more than 50 alerts in my inbox and also in the UI, which I had to acknowledge.
Is there a way to specify the trigger conditions for an alert?
Ideally, I would like to configure alerts to trigger:

  • Periodically (based on time)
  • Once per day
  • Only once upon occurrence

for each defined alert.

Thanks you, Martin

For your case, you may consider use strategy: "The first time condition set is true", this strategy will be triggered only once. This is also what you want for Only once upon occurrence.

For Periodically, I'm not sure what your exact requirement is. How about strategy: If condition set is true X times out of the last Y times it is evaluated? Based on the fact that QB collects measurements every 5 minutes, when X is 1 and Y is 12, that means every 1 hour found 1 occurrence.

Currently, there is no strategy available that applies to Once per day. You may create an improvement in our issue tracker below:

You’re absolutely right—sorry for bothering you with this.
I completely misinterpreted those settings.
Limiting it to at most once a day could also be achieved by setting the counter to 288.
