Hi, Wanted to check on solutions to snooze Splunk Alert. When a service is down, we disable the Splunk Alert till it is being worked. Sometime, the engineer forgets to enable to Alert back. is there a Add on or option in splunk to snooze for 1 hour or so and turn the Alert back ON. Kindly suggest.

Hi @arunsubram,

Instead of enabling/disable Alerts I suggest to set Throttle in alerts. In your case, you can Throttle alerts for 60 min. Please refer below link for more information.

Thanks
