How does NPM handle duplicate alerts?

• A. It can suppress duplicates and group related alerts; use alert deduplication, reset conditions, and maintenance windows
• B. It always sends all duplicates
• C. It ignores duplicates
• D. It deletes duplicates automatically without config

Answer: (A)

Duplicate alert handling in NPM focuses on reducing alert fatigue by suppressing repeated notifications for the same issue and by grouping related alerts into a single incident. You can enable alert deduplication, configure reset conditions so that once the underlying issue clears the alert resets, and set maintenance windows to suppress alerts during planned work. This approach keeps notifications concise and informative even when multiple monitors fire for the same event. In practice, duplicates aren’t sent out repeatedly; they’re consolidated and only re-notified if the situation changes or a reset occurs. Other options misstate behavior by suggesting duplicates are always sent, ignored, or deleted without any configuration.
