How to repeat email notifications for alarms until resolved? (4269871)

There is a multiple severity rule that has promoted to Fatal. The rule will not send any additional alerts as per the design of Foglight.  Is there a way to configure repeated alarms so that it sends continuous notifications until it is resolved?

How to generate a simple rule that will constantly fire repeat alerts?

Is it possible to receive email notifications for an alarm until the condition is cleared?

By design a single email notification will be generated while the alarm from a multiple severity rule remains active.

It is possible to create a customized simple and time driven rule which checks the original rule by "rule ID" to see if the condition still exists. If so, the simple rule sends an email alert out (but will not generate a new alarm in Foglight).

The time component can be specified, so that the emails are sent at the desired time interval.

Please see the attached document for an example on how to implement.

Note: Only one email would be sent for any rule (i.e. even if there are six current alarms for a rule, a single email will be sent).

For more information about rules and actions, please review the Administration and Configuration Guide. 

For additional assistance on customizations of Foglight, please contact our Professional Services Organization.

The following script can be used from Script Console as an alternative to retrieve the rule Id. for the desired rule:

server.RuleService.getAllRules().find{it.getName()=="Rule Name"}.getId()
