BI Aggregation: Possibility to configure alert on max number of OK nodes

6 votes

Hey :)

At the moment, you can configure the following:
Count the number of nodes in state OK:

Required number of OK nodes for an overall state of OK: 1
Required number of OK nodes for an overall state of WARN: 2

We have services running across multiple servers where only one server needs to be active. Although the GUI allows me to configure these settings, they do not work as expected. As soon as one node is OK, the aggregation is always OK - regardless of how many other nodes are also OK.

Because of this, the second condition is never applied, even though it is configured.

Checkmk support told me this is not considered a bug because the GUI is “not intended to be used this way.” Therefore, I am opening this feature request (SUP‑26867).

Feature request:
Please make the configurable conditions work so that I can set an explicit number of OK nodes that switch the aggregation to WARN even if the number is higher than the number of nodes to switch the aggregation to OK.
