It's not really clear what was ignored or what the actual alerts are set up as.

I'd suggest if you have devices which are frequently failing to respond to ping and/or SNMP enough to be triggering alerts, you should work out why that is.

If you can't fix the device/path, just exclude that device from the alert checker generating the alert. It's pretty trivial using the rules-based associations system.

Hi Jamen,

Ignoring an alert lasts as long as the alert is triggered. If the alert resorbs, the 'ignore' state is cleared.

You can however set the host to be ignored in the host setup page. This will block all alerts from that host.

AFAIK, there is no other fine grained way to selectively totally ignore a subset of alerts other than excluding the host in the alert checker itself.

Otherwise, if you have the paid version, you can add in a maintenance for that host on specific alerts. This method while working does not feel right to me however.

HTH,

Ahmed.

    One of our servers keeps reporting that its down and then back up
    a minute later. I've tried to ignore the alert within Observium
    but that only lasted for less than a day. I even put in a date to
    ignore the alert until 2026. That lasted for a couple of days. But
    we are once again getting bombarded with these alerts. I don't
    want to disable the alert since we have over 30 systems
    registered. Ideas or suggestions?
