Hello,
We have an alarm action set to "send a notification trap" and it is set to repeat every five minutes. I am wondering why it continues to be sent even after the condition triggering the alarm has been resolved and the alarm has been acknowledged and cleared.
There are zero alarms on the hosts anymore but every 5 minutes an event indicating the action of the trap being sent is logged under the events of the host. I see in the actions settings of the alarm that it states "Actions will repeat until the alarm type changes" but what exactly deos that mean? Does it mean that the actions set to repeat will always run until you change the alarm type on the "general tab"? That would be crazy because we would not ever be changing the alarm type there for this alarm but we do want the trap sent every 5 minutes if the alarm is still triggered (just not once the alarm has been resolved) so I am hoping someone can please help me understand why it is behaving this way.
Thank you.
