small bug - Service Alerts

Posted by aphid0703

Hi Tom - there seems like there might be a small bug with the Service Alerts - after clicking the bell icon to see the list, and clicking the Clear button, the red number badge goes away but the list of alerts does not. Then after logging out and back in, or after restarting the stack, the red number badge with the very same list alerts reappears. This reoccurs every time. Thanks in advance for fixing.

Thanks for flagging this! You've described it perfectly — the Clear button is dropping the badge count on your screen but isn't actually saving that you've dismissed the alerts, so they come right back after a restart. This is a real bug on our end. I've logged it and will get it fixed. In the meantime your box is totally fine — the alerts are cosmetic at this point. I'll post here once a fix ships.

Coming back to close this loop properly, and sorry it took so long for someone to. Tom shipped the fix in v1.6.336: clearing is now saved on the server, so the badge and the list both stay gone after a logout or a restart instead of the same alerts marching straight back. To pick it up on your box: sudo sparkbox upgrade One thing that is normal afterwards, so it does not look like the old bug: if a service is genuinely still down, the monitor will raise a fresh alert for it. An alert that returns for something actually broken is it working; the ones you dismissed will not come back. — Chris
