Splunk Search

Stop recurring alerts

sureshchinta

I have setup alerts based on a scheduled search in the logs. The application writes a log messages every minute while the error persists, therefore splunk gives out an email per message.

can some one help me with a syntax to avoid reading recurring alerts...

I am clueless in how to approach this problem...ignorance.

Thanks.

Check out the alert throttle app:

It should help to reduce the number of alerts you receive. You could run your saved search once a minute but only receive notifications once an hour (or whatever interval you like) after the first alert is generated.
