Exclude and Include in Notification Rules

56 votes

In the "conditions" section in the notification area, there are several match (include) and exclude Options.
But not all objects that can be matched can be excluded.
It would be great if all objects that can be matched can also be excluded.
This will help a lot in several rules.
For example: Host groups can´t be exluded, service labels and host labels can´t be excluded.

Add a feature to notification rules to exclude a host group. Currently, only include is possible.
For service groups exclude and include is available (including regexp)

Also, Exclude Labels, so that hosts with particular labels can be dropped from some notifications

Like Robert wrote: "Also, Exclude Labels".
Please make it consistent Labels/HostTags/HostGroups/etc. to ask specificaly makes no sense.

nothing here?

Why can I "Match service labels", but "Exclude service labels" is not possible?

Hello Simon,

Thank you for your idea! We’ve decided to plan the implementation for one of the next releases of our software.
We look forward to keeping you updated on progress.

At Checkmk we work on ideas based on business needs, customer demand, and resource availability. For strategic reasons, we reserve the right to re-evaluate the priority and/or scope of this feature as new information becomes available. We therefore ask for your understanding that we do not guarantee its implementation.

Warm regards,
Your Checkmk team

We have done major rework on notifications and as part of that improved various filters.

However, we didn't add all exclude options for now.
As we decided to invest our resources into other areas of the product for Checkmk 2.5, we are moving this back to under consideration, as something which we can and should work on in the future.
