Hi, @Alessio_C. Can you record a short video? I tried your “Step to reproduce” and [it worked for me.](https://github.com/ilyam8/playground/issues/10) ---

Hi @ilyam8 , sure thing! I’ve just uploaded a [short video here:](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TaYMuQX9VpuBgII9Qk0F0ZZHf3D3wbbA/view) let me know if I can provide additional details. Thanks ---

Hi @Alessio_C, thanks for reporting this! I have also tried and worked for me… do you get any console errors on the browser developer tools while you try this? ---

@kapantzak One of the issues I see in @Alessio_C video: - Select node “gatetest” from “Nodes”. - Click on “Add alert” (system.cpu chart). - **Issue** : UI opens different node Dyncfg menu (az-maestro-cache-…). ---

hi @kapantzak , you are welcome thanks for your time and interest. On the browser devconsole, I only get a couple of [“port disconnected from addon code”](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eMGdO81xEt2QiDexdsNTFfp2CnpID-8i/view?usp=sharing) I’ll provide more information on our setup to help you reproduce this: - 2 parents running on separate hosts deployed via docker - stream syncronization across parents working as expected - agent (clients) streaming data to parents (parent1 or parent2, an HA setup) - both parents are streaming to Cloud - both parents’ health checks demanded to Cloud (parents configured with `netdata.conf` `[health]` section, set `enabled` to `no`) UPDATE: As pointed out by @kapantzak UI opens different node Dyncfg menu, if I scroll down to a parent (let’s say parent1) I can access the health menu! But it’s still a bit confusing to me: how should I proceed to setup a new chart alert in this scenario? Am I supposed to select a parent node and then distribute the new/modified alert on both parents? ---

@Alessio_C indeed, as @ilyam8 pointed, we have a problem there, the form opens with the wrong node selected. I’m on it to fix it asap ---

@Alessio_C I just released a fix that hopefully solves the incorrect selected node ---

@kapantzak, not sure if the fix you mentioned is already live in production (cloud), if this is the case I’m still experiencing the same issue as per [screenshot1](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RX-OkU7rPn0HOu-VkPR26HIoLawmvtGN/view?usp=sharing) and [screenshot2](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W7vmN_Kc5BjRahMNiH8tYw0d8T_7i7CR/view?usp=sharing) ---

@Alessio_C this “gatetest” node. Is “health” disabled on this node? Can you check the `[health]` section via `http://IP:19999/netdata.conf`? ---

Hi @ilyam8 , confirmed: this “gatetest” host as well as other hosts are running netdata agent with `[health] enabled = no`. Due to the fact we use parents. ---

Then you need to configure alerts on the parent instance. ---

@ilyam8 we gave up trying using the form ATM as it frequently messes up with ID anyway.Our current solution - as fallback - is setting up health.d checks injecting configuration files to both parents and then reload [health] via automation. Hope this will be fixed in 2.x! ---

A typical chain of actions could be the following: 1. go to host chart (eg: docker\_container\_status) select alerts add 2. a new form will appear with node names that will generate and ID ERROR =\> 3. select from the list one of the parent nodes and click on Health and define the rule 4. you can apply the rule to: a) only one parent(selected) or b) to parent(selected) and selected node(agent providing metrics) In step 4 the additional parent (the second one in our case) is missing AFAIK this is not fine in a multiparent environment and health rules should be aligned. EDIT: we bumped to v1.47.0 everything, now the “missing ID” issue seems to be less frequent or gone
