Notifications on specific items

Good Day

I need assistance to setup notification on specific components only.
CPU, RAM and HDD Usage only.
Currently I am getting emails on almost every monitoring agent.
Sorry. I am very new to CheckMK and went through some manuals as I’ve inherited this role from the previous Engineer.

Thank you.

Hi @shaunbridgens

that’s what this forum is for :slight_smile:

This article from our notification is a good starting point: Notifications - via Email, SMS, Ticketsystems and more

Also, this video is a good quick start: Episode 21: Setting up notifications in Checkmk - YouTube

Generally speaking, you can set up notification for anything and everything, so also for state changes on specific state changes e.g. for CPU load only.

Also, make sure that you configure your fallback email address (global settings) correctly, if not you run into this problem: Notifications based on particular sensors

just seeing that I actually linked to YOUR own old thread :joy:

Hallo,
tags an lables may help but you should design a concept before.

HI

I have tags enabled, but one issue I picked up was that I am receiving 2 sets of email alerts which is bombarding my mailbox.
Please see my initial setup and global setup. The emails I am receiving is not even setup in the CheckMK site level.


This is new alerts after I configured the email account in the global setup and notifications area.

This is the repetitive alerts coming through non stop.

Could you assist in where I need to look to rectify this please?
The correct emails should be the first alerts.

Thank you
Shaun

I Have now made some changes on the global settings to see if it makes a difference, so now I replicated the changes as per the first screenshot and the emails are still coming through at least 4 - 6 emails every minute. Is there another place where I can set this to ONLY send email based on the 3 sensors I need to report on?
CPU
HDD
RAM
