    Escalation emails are not behaving as expect

    In the setup we have trigger that depend on other triggers, e.g
    High ranking Trigger is when a server doesn't respond for 6 mins
    Warning ranking Trigger is when a server doesn't respond for 3 mins

    To make sure Warning triggers are not achive when High triggers are active we have made the Warning trigger depend on the High trigger

    We also have a test action that triggers on all events
    This trigger is set to always Escalations after 1 min (for testing) until the event acknowledged = "Ack"


    If we now turn the server off to test this we get

    no emails up to 3 mins
    warning emails from 3 mins
    high and warning emails from 6 mins (but we only see the high trigger in trigger alerts)
    acknowledge the alert
    warning emails continue to be sent to mailbox every minute.
    Turn server back on
    High & warning recover emails are sent


    Any ideas on how we can fix this, I was thinking about changing the php code that acknowledges the alert so it would also acknowledge children but this would only start working when a staff member acknowledges the alert, very bad for something like a router/switch outage.

      Good spotting, after a couple of weeks in the bug service queue I thought I would post it here to see if other users had an idea just in case it was something silly I was doing.
