Jonathan Hurley commented on AMBARI-15647: ------------------------------------------ I believe that the only alerts which current use the SKIPPED state are the HDFS "deviation" alerts specified here: https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-server/src/main/resources/common-services/HDFS/2.1.0.2.0/alerts.json#L533 But any custom created script could also be using it as well. > Alerts Using the SKIPPED State Cause Stale Alert Notification > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: AMBARI-15647 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-15647 > Project: Ambari > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ambari-server > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Reporter: Jonathan Hurley > Assignee: Jonathan Hurley > Fix For: 2.4.0 > > > SCRIPT alerts which use the {{SKIPPED}} state as a way of preventing > processing are causing instances of the Ambari Stale Alert to trigger.
