Question regarding "On Alarm send email" smart rule

Hi,

the documentation

is vague here: Would this rule also apply if an alarm already exists (and thus just the counter increased)? Or would I have to clear the alarm first?

Best regards,
Harald

It says when an alarm is created, so updating counters (existing alarm) won’t have any effect.

Thank you, I also confirmed the same through a test. Though I do not think that is entirely obvious. The REST API you call is still a POST, which indicates “new” and you have to be aware that the deduplication feature of Cumulocity applies.

I created a ticket to make this clearer on the documentation.

Verify that the alarm was created and not duplicated from somewhere.

This text should be changed in my opinion. Whatever “duplicated from somewhere” means :smiley:
