Cron spam: figure out a way it doesn't get ignored
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

The current status of the root cron spam is pretty good, with very few email left, but sometimes either because something breaks or because of a Puppet change, we might get a spike of them in a short amount of period.
Given the silent nature of this cron spam, it might got unnoticed for some time.

The goal of this task is to find a way to make sure that eventual increase of cron spam doesn't get unnoticed.

One option could be to have a non-paging Icinga alarm on the count of those emails that can trigger if the count in the last hour, 24 hour goes over some threshold.
