Good Day All,
I would like the feature to be developed:
Allow the results of an alert to be collated into a single email.
Presently when an alert is triggered for a node that has several results, a separate e-mail is sent for each result.
E.g. When an alert configured for interfaces that are down, is triggered, an e-mail will be sent reporting on a different interface. Each interface is reported in a different e-mail.
Thus if 5 nodes with 4 interfaces each are being monitored and trigger the alert, 20 e-mails will be sent as there is no way to collate the results of the trigger into a single e-mail.
I would like to have a feature implemented that collates all trigger results such that one e-mail is sent.
This should be done per alert or per node.
Per alert - one email is sent reporting all results per alert. In the above example, one e-mail will be sent that reports on the twenty interfaces that are down.
Per Node - one email is sent reporting all results for the alert on each node that triggers the alert. In the above example, there would be five e-mails, one e-mail per node with reports on the interfaces that are down on that particular node.
I presently have an alert that is triggered for interfaces that are administratively enabled, but operationally down for more than 2 months.
I receive approximately 40 e-mails when this alert is triggered.
E-mails as follows:
