Alerting

After configuring email alerts, why am I not receiving all emails from Splunk Enterprise?

I have configured triggered alerts & email alerts for an alert which runs every hour with custom count >0 with trigger for each result.

I see triggered alerts for every hour and i don't see any emails triggered for every hour. I get only one email in the morning and thats it..

Can you please help me figure out which configuration i should change so that i receive emails for every triggered alert?

Be sure that your Splunk instance had configuration to send to your mailserver

In /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/alert_actions.conf

[email]
from       = splunk@mydomain.com
mailserver = myserver.mydomain:25

As @harishalipaka said: change the scheduled time on Cron; the expression for "every hour" is: 0 0 * ? * *
