Alerting

How do you generate an alert on a specific condition?

I want to generate an alert on a specific condition?

If an alert is generated from an ID for the first time, an email needs to be sent. If the next alert is received within 30 mins for the same ID, then an email notification will be sent after 30 mins with no of alerts within the last 30 mins.

You have 2 options.

1: You can save whenever alert is sent to a lookup file with the time that it was sent. Then, when the threshold is hit again, see if 30 minutes have passed or not. If so, update the lookup.

2: You can turn on the Throttle feature inside of the Alert conditions.
