Hi All,

Some week ago i wrote a mail because we found an alert bug and we got lot of mails (in every 5. minutes) instead of just 1 in 24 hours.

This Observium was an updated from the 2015.07 CE to the latest (CE.0.16.1.7533).
We thougth that the problem was because of the upgrade process and the alert function was new and something went bad....

Now i made a clear install of the latest Observium CE from .tgz.
I added only one host, add the same alert, and i’m receiving again the alerts mail in every 5. minutes.
I didn’t touch any file just the config.php because of the SQL access of the Observium!

I added a host (emaussw01). It is a Cisco Nexus device with 7 FEX modules. I see the temperatures of FEXs (4 values from every FEX) all is under 50C but not one module. This module are the "FEX-111 Module-1 Die-1". This is over 50C.

I add an alert, export is this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<templates>

<template type="alert" description="Autogenerated observium template" version="0.91" created="Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:29:04 +0100" observium="0.16.1.7533" id="73249fd2b23ef5f715d749ce2e98be41">
    <entity_type>sensor</entity_type>
    <name>emaussw01 temp check</name>
    <message>Temp alarm!</message>
    <severity>crit</severity>
    <suppress_recovery>0</suppress_recovery>
    <delay>0</delay>
    <conditions_and>1</conditions_and>
    <conditions>sensor_value gt 50</conditions>
    <conditions_complex>sensor_value gt 50</conditions_complex>
    <associations>
      <device>hostname eq emaussw01</device>
      <entity>sensor_class is temperature</entity>
    </associations>
  </template>
</templates>

I associated one user for this check via email alert.

Alert
history is:

  Date  Device  Alert Check  Entity  Message  Status
2016-03-10 15:38:26  emaussw01  emaUSSW01 temp check  Fex-111 Module-1 Die-1  Alert notification sent  ALERT_NOTIFY

 2016-03-10 15:03:51  emaussw01  emaUSSW01 temp check  Fex-111 Module-1 Die-1  Alert
notification sent  ALERT_NOTIFY

And i got email allways (1 minutes earlier) when ALERT_NOTIFY is present in the log:

# grep -i "Date: Thu” /var/spool/mail/obstestuser
