When an event is acknowledged, opEvents stops the propagation. That means, that all the rules are not going to run anymore. There are different approaches to achieve this, but is a common schema to set up opevents_auto_acknowledge_up to false in the poller, so the event is not acknowledge and can be sent to the primary.

Poller sending duplicate events to the primary

If your poller is sending duplicate events to the primary make sure that your EventActions.json script does not have any 'or' gates in your 'IF' statements - 'AND' and 'and' are fully supported, but 'or' (also 'OR') is not supported and can lead to unexpected behavior.

It's also best practice to use "BREAK" : "true" whenever possible, for example:
If we confirm that event.event = 'Node Down' there's no need to also check to see if event.event = 'Interface Down' etc.
