Hi Anthony,

There is no such 'state' in Observium at this point; it'd also have to be a special case specific for e-mail I think, because other alerting "transports" (= what does the alerting in Observium) can't fit (SMS), parse (Shellscript exec) or don't want to (PagerDuty, VictorOps) have such things summarized.

So just as to why that won't be a simple implementation in 5 minutes. But not saying it can't be done. ;-)

Hello,
I would like to make a feature request for alerts.

Over the weekend a significant portion of campus lost power, generating an overwhelming flood of device down email notifications.

Would it be possible add an option to hold off sending notifications until the current Alerting process has run, and then send a digest or summary of all devices sending alerts?

Thanks
