Alerting failed: some problem encountered, continuing with next rule

Hello,

I have a problem with configuration of the alerts.
When I try to test my configuration I see WARNING and no email are sent.
My Postfix is running, and I able to pass email tests with mailx

echo "test message"| mailx -s test your_email@company.com

Here is the output of Test:

I'm using 1.35-1 (not on 2, because it erase history).

I figured why this was happening. My collection interval (15 mins) is more than peak interval (5 mins). When set peak time to or more than 15 mins, I've started receiving alerts.

yes, however this causes a problem only for testing of alerting.
Normally alerting is issued after each data colletion import, but 15 minutes change make sense in your env.
