Alerting

Alert expiration!

BserviR
Explorer

I'm currently using the token $results_link$ to get a direct link to alerts when they get triggered. I've also set the "Expires" field to 72 hrs. However, if the alerts get triggered over the weekend, the results are always expired when checking them after 48 hours. Is it possibe to have the alert results not expire in 48hrs?

Hi. I think you may be hitting the dispatch.ttl setting

Use advanced edit on your search and see what yours is set to.

Hi @burwell , 

Yes, this did fix my issue. I adjusted the default 2p to represent 5 days worth of time in seconds. Now when I check job manager when the alert is triggered, I see the expire time is 5 days away now.  Thanks
