Hi!

Thanks a lot, it does help me to understand things! My problem may be rooted in the concept of "discrete events"!
anyway... is it possible, that the alert "process CPU consumption (percent) is higher than a given value" is affected by "being a discrete event"? I receive all alerts in every 20 minutes (or whatever the measurement interval is).

The templates are itemized correctly!

Regards,

Attila

Hi Attila, two things.  First, what type of alert conditions are you using?  Certain conditions, most notably Availability conditions like GOES DOWN, ignore dampening because they are discrete events.  Second, there was a recent bug fix in the area of dampening.  The hourly data purge was negating some of the dampening state, so dampening that crossed the top of the hour may have been affected.  This fix will be in 4.10.

Do either of these things, maybe explain what you are seeing?

Also, you are saying that this is dampening at the alert template level?  Check to ensure the dampening is also reflected at the resource level by looking at the alert definition that was propagated down from the template to one of the resources of the relevant type.

No one encounters similar? It is proven, that I can set anything in the dampening section, I will get each and every alerting mail! Very annoying, tbh...

What to chack if I set it correctly (I think there's nothing I can miss, it's quite simple - and I have also seen this work)? Or any log that should be correlated?

Hi!

It seems that there's no use to set any dampening for the alert tamplates, I got all alerts for any of them.

I usually use "one for several hours"... practically I only use templates, so the servers inherits the settings.

Is there any trick I miss? I have used 4.8 only a few days long, but as far as I can remember, it worked as I expected.

Attila
