Recurring Alerts Without Alert Fatigue

Alerts only work if people still read them. A system that fires ten reminders for the same overdue filter change trains everyone to ignore it.

What recurring alerts are for

• Preventive maintenance — filter changes, detector tests, HVAC service.
• Compliance & safety — recurring checks that must not slip.
• Operational cadence — restock runs, inspections, seasonal tasks.

The dedupe principle

A good alert system keeps one open alert per rule. If a task is already flagged and unresolved, re-running the schedule should not create a second, third, and fourth copy. Resolve or reopen — don't flood.

Resolve, don't just dismiss

Every alert should have a clear resolution with an actor and timestamp, so the history shows not just that something was flagged, but that it was handled and when.

How Maravo handles this

Maravo auto-generates recurring alerts that dedupe to one open alert per rule, and collapses historical duplicate floods on boot. Hosts resolve or reopen alerts; the dashboard hides resolved ones so the list stays actionable.

FAQ

Why am I seeing only one alert for a recurring task? By design — Maravo keeps a single open alert per rule so the list reflects real, unhandled work.
