Hi,
Whenever an action fires an alert, we see that agent_entity field is empty and agent_time is set to 0000-00-00 00:00:00. Is there any specific reason for that? For example, lets assume we have a single agent (from multiple hosts) sending alerts. In resolution to an alert, an action fires a new alert. We need to know which agent fired the action. So, it would be good to fill up the agent_entity field.
Thanks,
Sunil.

The single reason for the fields related to the agent (agent, agent_time, agent_entity) not being filled by yarpd is that yarpd is not an agent.
However, I see your point and agree that it worth to be discussed. Can you please post more details about the scenario you're trying to work out and the rules you're using to do that, so we'll have an example of the use case. Or may be I'll be able to help you to do your correlation other way.

We got 2 use cases for this:
1. We have got a latch mechanism, wherein, a warning alerts get logged if there is a ServiceDown alert followed by a ServiceUp alert. In this mechanism, a ServiceUp alerts closes the ServiceDown alert, but we fire the latch(warning alert), indicate that there is a problem with the Service.
2. We have got a heartbeat mechanism wherein a Service sends Up alerts periodically. However, if we don't find an alert for a specific period of time, we fire a critical alert.
However, in both the above 2 use cases, we need to identify the agent_entitity, agent_time and agent which fired the above alerts for better debugging purposes.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sunil.
