User Problem

Notification policies can delay notifications unless the deduplication count equals x-deduplication time(s) in time interval of x-time.

But there is not an option to delay notifications unless the deduplication count NOT equals x-deduplication time(s) in time interval of x-time.

Use Case

A cron job (or something similar) sends alerts to Opsgenie x-times over x-minutes. If the count is not reached, then a failure with the job has occurred and the alert should notify users.

Ex: We have an exact condition of 7 files sending to Opsgenie. These are informational unless the count is NOT 7. If we are missing a file then this should escalate.

Suggested Solutions

Add a new condition to notification policies with something like "delay notifications unless the deduplication count NOT equals x-deduplication time(s) in time interval of x-time."

Or add a NOT option under the existing condition "delay notifications unless the deduplication count equals x-deduplication time(s) in time interval of x-time."

Current Workarounds

Using heartbeats for each file - so if one is not received, an alert is created.
