Hi,

Splunk started sending false alerts since today morning even though aler condition hasn't been triggsered. Once we re-enable alert those are working fine.
Can anybody please help what could be the reason behind this as this is become severity one issue in Splunk Production Environment?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

If it's severity 1 then I'll suggest to raise case with splunk support.
