Notifications - are they in order of evaluation? i.e match and action else move to next

Hi,

Can someone tell me if the notification rules are in order of evaluation. i.e if the first rule matches it will follow the action else it will go to the next rule…?

Many thanks

Hi nickjwest,

all notifications rules are processed top down, every rule creates notifications based on the conditions and plugins for which it is configured.
All notifications created by one rule are added to a table, all notifications are processed “additionally”, at the end, there is a resulting table of all notifications that are being executed.

In addition to @aeckstein :

Rules can cancel notifications of previous rules.

Can you expand on that?

You can have a second rule with the action “cancel previous notification” with the same method and specific conditions.

This way you can for example cancel notifications for test systems in a certain time period.
