When multiple alerts are sent to a given alert channel, send a single message instead of 1 message per alert

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Some users have more than 50 applications. When a core application is down, all connected applications generate an alert. Then the user receive a lot of emails or teams messages, which makes it difficult to handle. We would like to add the possibility (as a parameter in the alert channel configuration) to delay the message so that every alert sent in a configurable time window are simultaneously sent as one single message / email.

    Hi Céline,

    I am one of the Product Management Team for IBM Instana. I would like the opportunity to discuss this with you further. I believe that using Incidents in Instana may provide you with this sort of capability; however, based on the description I need to dig a little deeper.

    Please could you indicate to me whether you would be willing to attend a call to discuss this further?

    Regards,

    Paul Watkins (paul.watkins@uk.ibm.com)
