Hey everyone!
Wasn't sure how to frame this exactly, but here's what I've got:
I have a series of alerts set up that watch for conditions and trigger actions (namely logging and email alerts) that I want to have monitored and logged 24/7, but only want to get an email during certain days/times of day, regardless of when the alert condition was met.
For example, if I have a node go Critical in the middle of the night, the trigger action of logging completes, but I don't get an email (which is by-design). However the trouble is, once the trigger condition for the email passes into the date/time window that I want to get notified in, because the condition already exists I don't get an email. In short, if my email action has a window of Monday-Friday of 8AM-5PM, if that node goes down on Sunday at 2AM, I don't want an email then, but I do want an email to hit my inbox at 8AM on Monday.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to address this? Basically is there a way to trigger an action for a pre-existing alert condition as a function of time?
My initial thought was to create two alerts with the same conditions, but one that has an action of logging and another just for email. But if I can avoid the complexity/overhead and have it in one alert that would be better.
Hope that makes sense, and thanks for your thoughts in advance!
