Funny enough, yes, although I've never seen that before today (when I loaded 
the check to grab you the conditions). I'm guessing they added some checks at 
some point for input sanity, but it seems to still work normally.

Adam might know (or be able to fix it!)

Thank you for the suggestion. Do you get this error by any chance?

0, or null?

I have two similar checks (one for sensor below and one for above thresholds) 
but a while ago I had to add null checks to avoid this.

My Sensor High/Low alarms have a delay of 1 and set it so all conditions have 
to be true:

sensor_value less @sensor_limit_low
@sensor_limit_low ne NULL

(Obviously replace low for high on the other check)


That seems to work for us.

To give an example of something that happened today and why I ask; One of the 
servers we are monitoring we have an alert check for the fans being below the 
sensor threshold something timed out on the connection and caused the sensor 
values to all drop to 0 and then showed the device timed out as well. We got 
about 20 emails about the sensors both about the alert and the recovery. I did 
go ahead and add a alert delay to the checker so that would at least fix that 
for now but maybe grouping the alerts per host if its happening all at the same 
time would reduce the noise of the alerts and provide a better way to know that 
something on that host itself might be an issue.

There's not really a way to "group" alerts. It could potentially be done, but 
not with our current alert sending code.

If you frequently get situations where you get multiple alerts all at once, 
being annoyed by those alerts should serve as motivation to fix the problem, 
no? :D

How are your alert checkers built?

While we have asked for alert dependencies forever (and may never get it) I 
don't get any individual alarms for sensors when a device is offline.

Is there a way to group email alerts so there is not an email alert for every 
sensor that might go down at the same time? For example multiple fans on a 
server might show as an alert if the device itself is not responding
