Hello, looking for some help with setting up alarms and user notifications. Attempting to reduce as much noise/notification fatigue for the recipient of the notifications …

My team is relatively new to Ignition, we are currently using a home-grown solution that works, but is becoming end-of-life, and therefore in process of evaluating Ignition to move forward with.

Scenario: Send notification to maintenance supervisor for a motor that has faulted more than 3 times within a rolling 60 minute window, and each occurrence has lasted at least 5 minutes before being reset.

Thanks for any suggestions, guidance.

Paul.

This is possible using a UDT, the Alarming Pipeline and some scripting.

You should look into alarm pipelines - for instance, this IU video lays the groundwork for what you’re looking for:  
[https://inductiveuniversity.com/video/pipeline-escalation/7.9?r=%2Fvideo%2Fsearch%2F%3Fq%3Dalarm%20pipelines%26checked\_topics%3D](https://inductiveuniversity.com/video/pipeline-escalation/7.9?r=%2Fvideo%2Fsearch%2F%3Fq%3Dalarm%20pipelines%26checked_topics%3D)

Between local pipeline properties and notification throttling you should get pretty close to what you want with relatively little effort.
