flapjack notifications

[Filip Slunecko]

Hi,


I am trying to set up a notification to limit one specific entity to alert only between 7:00 - 23:59 and whatever I try it doesn't work.
I included the setting in the picture.
This is the rule:

{
    "notification_rules": [
        {
            "regex_entities" : ["^tes.*"],
            "time_restrictions": [
                {
                    'start_time': '2013-01-28 07:00:00',
                    'end_time': '2013-01-28 17:59:00',
                    'rrules': [
                        {
                            'rule_type': 'Daily',
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "unknown_media": [],
            "warning_media": [
                "email"
            ],
            "critical_media": [
                "email"
            ],         
            "unknown_blackhole": True,
            "warning_blackhole": True,
            "critical_blackhole": True
        }
    ]
}

End and start date feels wrong, but I am not sure how to write differently.


Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Filip,

You probably want to set warning_blackhole and critical_blackhole to false otherwise this rule is going to block all notifications for entities matching ^tes.* between 7:00 and 17:59 every day. And change the general rule to be a default drop (remove all media from warning_media and critical_media).

Alternatively, invert it so that the rule is blackholing between 18:00 and 6:59 each day eg:

                    'start_time': '2013-01-28 18:00:00',
                    'end_time': '2013-01-29 6:59:59',

The second approach would work in with your existing general rule that is effectively an allow all. 

Cheers

Jesse

Thank you for you response!

I found the problem. I did not change a timezone settings in flapjack_config.yaml so all the checking was in UTC (I was expecting flapjack to pickup local one.).

Best,

Filip

Hi Filip

Very good. You can also give your contacts specific timezones that override the default in the config. 

Cheers
