Hello,
Recently we had a case when network infrastructure went down, and only after some time we fixed it. Observium noticed it and everything was OK. But in meantime of fixing it - Observium started to flood with alerts - this may be the correct case. But after we repaired the network - and everything was OK, we still had a flood of old errors and it continued about an hour or so.
I tried to disable email alerts through config.php, supress all alerts through WEB interface - but nothing helped.
So is there any manual way to stop the Alerting queue ?
Thanks

Haha. Not at present but it sounds like we need some way to flush the queue.
Tbh, probably the alerts were already sent, just sitting in email queues. Not something observium could affect after the fact.
Adam.

Do you have any mailcleaners or filters?
Maybe they where stuck there?
We had it in the past where alerts where sent out from observium to our cleaners,
but then couldn’t go from the cleaners to us because our email hosting server was offline
It was a DOH moment when we realised why we wasn’t getting the email alerts
