Multiple repeat_interval settings

[Warren Francis]

I would like to set up a receiver that never repeats alerts to prevent ticket spam while keeping the rest of the alerts the same. The setting appears to be global. 

I have tried: 

Setting up two routes in the same file but i got this error " line 312: field route already set in type config.plain\n  line 324: field receivers already set in type config.plain"

Adding repeat_interval to the receiver but it isnt an appropriate field

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

It's not global, it's specific to a route:

There is a top level route, but this route can contain child routes (which can contain grandchild routes etc)

route:

  ... set defaults here

  routes:

    - ... child route1 here

    - ... child route2 here

 

The receiver and settings of the parent route are only used if none of the child routes match.

There is an interactive tool that helps you visualize and debug your routing tree:

Thanks for the reply! 

I've made the following changes:

global:

  resolve_timeout: 15m

route:

  group_by:

  - instance

  group_wait: 10s

  group_interval: 10s

  repeat_interval: 1h

  receiver: web.hook

  routes:

  - receiver: Ticket alerts

    match_re:

      alertname: RabbitMQ-.*|QueueBuilding.*|NumberOfQueue.*|TooManyReadyMes.*

    repeat_interval: 7000h
