when enabled NO alerts at all

[vj6]

I've plugin installed in alerta vene in docker container.

RUN python3 -m venv /venv && \
    /venv/bin/pip install --no-cache-dir alerta-blackout-regex

can see it's installed

alerta@alerta-6c7f6d5996-qlptf:/$ /venv/bin/pip freeze | grep reg
alerta-blackout-regex==2.0.0
alerta@alerta-6c7f6d5996-qlptf:/venv$ ls /venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/blackout_regex.py
/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/blackout_regex.py

I can see it can also import requires things.

However, when this plugin is enabled, I'm not seeing any alerts at all (pls not there is no blackout enable for any alert at all).

alerta@alerta-6c7f6d5996-qlptf:/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages$ env | grep -i plug
PLUGINS=reject,heartbeat,blackout_regex,slack

Can you pls help with the right way to enable and configure this, am I doing something differently?

[vj6]

@mirceaulinic can you pls have a look, when you get a chance?

[mirceaulinic]

Hey @vj-gsr, I've just released 2.0.2 which may be helpful for your use-case. Also, I'd probably recommend enabling the native blackout plugin too, just before this one, i.e., PLUGINS=reject,heartbeat,blackout,blackout_regex,slack. Could you confirm this helps?

[vj6]

@mirceaulinic thanks for the update, I've updated the plugin to 2.0.2 and PLUGINS=reject,heartbeat,blackout,blackout_regex,slack now even if I put blackout I still see alerts.

just so that I'm doing it right, I've k8s workload name "vjtest1-69cb5bccd-rqscq" for this if I put regex blackout like *.vj.* or *vjtest* on resource, I still see the active alert and it notifies on slack (nothing in blackout)

Pls let me know if you need any details to debug? version details for reference.

Hey @vj6 - would you mind trying again with version 3.0.0?
