Notification only one per day

version: cmk raw 2.3.0p13

hi,

how to setup cmk notifications to only send one notification per day doesn´t matter how often states changing and without the need to restrict the notification numbers?

are there any best practices?

kind regards
Dennis

A quick consideration would be to start an alert handler after the first CRIT, which takes the affected service into downtime for the rest of the day?

The other option would be to send the notifications in bulk… You can specify that when a problem occurs, the notifications are collected for 24 hours, for example, and then everything is sent in one mail. In this case, the mail is not sent the first time a problem occurs, but 24 hours later, but if the error is known and occurs more frequently, this would be a possibility.

The magic word here is EventConsole.
There then the function “Count messages in interval” and “Limit event lifetime”
Simply activate the count with 1 and set the rule so that similar notifications that are forwarded to the EventConsole by the notification system only ever increase the count by 1. At the same time, set the “Event lifetime” to 1 day so that the generated event disappears after 24 hours and is regenerated when something comes up again.
