Aggregate alerts under a group

Feature RequestAlerting

Hey Checkly team :wave:

Currently if we have multiple checks under a group and alerting is setup to be routed to tools like PagerDuty or OpsGenie, there are times where we'll be bombarded with alerts. This happens when the check dependencies all share the same downstream call, and that downstream call is problematic.

If its possible to aggregate the alerts by the group, this would drastically reduce the alerting noise if we get into another instance where all checks under a group starts to fail. I'm not sure if this is possible due to a limitation from OpsGenie, PagerDuty etc.

But the end goal would be to send a single alert that references the group, and additional metadata is added which specifies which check is failing, as opposed to each check being an individual alert.

    We’ve upvoted this request. This feature would be a big improvement for us — right now the flood of alerts during incidents slows us down. What we really need is:

    • First failure in a group triggers an alert immediately

    • Additional failures in that group don’t send new alerts

    • Alert auto-resolves only once all checks in the group pass again

    It’s one of the top things we need from Checkly to keep our alerting actionable and reliable.

    @James Hartig thanks for mentioning. Would you say your request is similar to this request? If so, we should merge it so we have more upvotes on this general feature. https://feedback.checklyhq.com/p/aggregate-alerts-under-a-group
