Hello,
I have been trying to setup alerts and having a problem there. I am using MySQL as my datasource and pulling a simple set of data “select * from test”.
Test contains random numbers with time series. I want to setup an alert where i get an email once the value increases beyond say 50.
i am using max() query (A,5min,now), with the alert repeating every 2 minutes. WIth such a configuration I get an alert only once, ie when i start the alert. After that the dashboard keeps showing as “Alerting” but I do not get further alert mails. Is this how it is supposed to be or am i missing something.
The same problem happens when I use other functions like avg(), or count(). I just get the mail once and not again. Also it seems that the functions are using all the data in the table to calculate the value. For instance Count/Sum() Query (A,5m,now) counts or sums the value of the entire table instead of the ones within the time frame.
Thanks.
