Matt, I'm fairly sure you only need the two alert definitions:
1 - Email alert on Availability Down, disable when fired
2 - Recovery alert on Availability Up, enabling #1
That's true. But it would be really helpful to extend the system that
only one definition is needed.
In nearly all our use cases we have to define a sibling pair of alerts
as described by Matt (but with a second email notification in 2, too).
Only one definition would reduce the complexity and error-proneness a
lot! (Even Nagios has this build in.)
Having said all that, thanks for the suggestion, we're looking
for ways
to improve alerting and we know that dampening and recovery are two
areas we can likely do better.
Nice to hear.
