How to force an alert

[Roman Partigula]

Hi,

can anybody tell me please how to make an alert to fire a number of

times even if the alert condition did not change

Is it possible to do it as in cron job by listing minutes separated by comas

For example

I thought this alert will fire each 30 min but I was wrong

It fires only once

VALUE status} {SOURCE {adlx_in sowsia_chg}} {MODE actual} {WITH -2} {COMP {!= d

own}} {FOR {nmin 1}} {WINDOW {* 00,30 * * * *}} {HOST {}} {ACTION {{exec {“$HCIR

OOT/scripts/my_sctipt” “%A” }}}}

Thanks

A “repeating” feature was added to alerts in 5.7 (along with many other things).  I think this is what you are looking for.

In earlier releases you’ll need to have multiple alerts if you want them to fire repeatedly (for example, FOR nmin 2 and FOR nmin 30).

They way you have it now, the alert engine will only check for the condition each half hour.  I doubt this is what you want 🙂
