Alerting with eval & stateDuration doesn't produce alert

InfluxDB 1 Kapacitor
1

I’ve written following TICK script which should alert if UPS External Temperature goes below or above threshold.

The script doesn’t produce any errors and I’ve verified that the measurement contains data.
What I’m doing wrong here?

Kapacitor OSS 1.5.3 (git: HEAD e6bc51b8447de450c3f6fc0f6e47b6a0987ce5b6)

It looks like you are using stateDuration correctly.
for example the following is incorrect:
.warn(lambda: “warnDuration” > 1)
.crit(lambda: “critDuration” > 1)

I am sharing an example try to modify your script, skip what does not apply.

var cpu_percentage_alert_threshold = 95

var crit_state_duration = 10

var data = stream
    |from()
        .database(db)
        .retentionPolicy(rp)
        .measurement('Processor')
        .groupBy(groupBy)
        .where(lambda: "instance" == '_Total')
    |window()
        .period(1m)
        .every(1m)
        .align()
    |where(lambda: isPresent("Percent_Processor_Time"))
    |last('Percent_Processor_Time')
        .as('Percent_Processor_Time')
    |eval()
        .keep('Percent_Processor_Time')
   |stateDuration(lambda: "Percent_Processor_Time" >= cpu_percentage_alert_threshold)
        .unit(1m)
    |alert()
        .details('N/A')
        .crit(lambda: "state_duration" >= crit_state_duration)
        .message(message)
        .id('CPU_Busy')
        .idTag('alertID')
        .levelTag('level')
        .messageField(messageField)
        .durationField('duration')
        .post('https://***********')
