to understand the relationship between a number of alert

(autoDisable, autoEnable and autoResolve) is clear, I have
some questions on how trigger behaves when some of this flags
are turned on:</div>

autoDisable + autoEnable: this combination seems possible and
logical, the triggers gets disabled, the user tends to alerts
fired by the trigger, resolves them, the trigger gets enabled</div>

Right. AutoDisable means the trigger will disable after firing, to
prevent repeated firing while the issue is manually resolved. When
the trigger's alert(s) are set resolved it will be re-enabled
automatically in order to start monitoring your environment again.
Together it gives you an automatic window of trigger inactivity
during alert resolution.<br>

autoDisable + autoResolve: does this combination make sense? I
can imagine trigger fires an alert, goes into disabled state.
Does it switch into evaluating autoresolve conditions? If user
manually enables such trigger after it got disabled after
firing, will it be evaluating autoresolve conditions?</div>

<br>
Good question. AutoDisable does not make sense when AutoResolve is
being used and therefore it's setting is ignored. With AutoResolve
in use, when the trigger fires it changes to AUTO_RESOLVE mode and
will not again fire until the auto resolve conditions are met or the
alert is manually resolved. In this case the trigger must be
manually disabled to stop it from processing. When manually enabled
a trigger will always start in FIRING mode.<br>

autoEnable + autoResolve: same questions as before: alert
fires, trigger starts to evaluate resolve conditions, then got
disabled manually. User resolves alerts, the trigger becomes
enabled because of autoEnable flag, but does it evaluate
resolve conditions or problem conditions?</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<br>
AutoEnable is not usually relevant when AutoResolve is being used.
But, if the trigger were to be manually disabled, then AutoEnable
would take effect when the trigger's alert(s) were manually
resolved. When triggers are enabled they always start in FIRING
mode.<br>
