Limit Kibana watcher emails

[hofrichterovak (Cate)]

Hello,

I would like to ask about the Kibana watcher. When the watcher conditions are met, an email is sent.

Is there any way to limit the maximum number of emails?

I would like to run the watcher every 30 minutes, but limit the maximum number of emails sent per day to 3. Is it possible? Now I have 48 sent emails.

Thank you.

Hello @hofrichterovak ,

Yes it is possible.

We can use "throttle_period": "15m"

Actions | Elastic Docs

Your Watcher executes every 30 minutes , if you add throttle period as 3h, once it matches and alerts (send email) for next 3h it will execute but not perform the action.

Thanks!!
