Issue Summary

We are trying to create alerts with Redash alerts to send notifications via e-mail and on the slack channel.
Redash Alerts are not firing even with the thresholds met.

A few checks that we have done:

  1. We made sure that the alert destinations are fine. We can send the test messages to the alert destination on the slack channel.
  2. We made sure we have a refresh schedule on the query set.
  3. We made the threshold too low to force an alert but the alert state did not change from UNKNOWN.

Does the query in question use parameters?

3

Yes, the underlying query uses parameters. Unfortunately, I cannot share the query (even REDACTED) here. What would be the best way forward? Thanks!

You don’t need to share the query text. Queries with parameters don’t execute on a schedule and can’t be used in alerts. Remove the parameter and the alert will work.

This is also happening to me. I’m on version 10.1.0 and my queries don’t have any parameter. Any ideas of other causes?
