How I can set a 'limit' of alerts on sensu?

Question

I wish to set a limit of alerts from sensu. For instance, after 5 alerts from host X about disk capacity, I would like to stop receive alerts about the same issue.

Is it possible?

Thanks

You can do that with sensu filters. Something like:

{
  "filters": {
    "firstfive": {
      "attributes": {
        "occurrences": "eval: value <= 5"
      }
    }
  }
}

You need to add such filter to the handler you have created for the email.
