Hi, after just restarting hobbit I get the purple icon for last changes > 24 hours for all tests except cpu and disk. Is this correct? Regards Lars

missing subjects on alert emails
by brianlynch＠gmail.com 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

Has anyone seen the problem where 'MAIL' recipients receive messages with no subject? Am I missing a configuration option here? Note that alerts are sent fine, but the subject is empty. Here is the config line from hobbit-alerts.cfg. Note that I blanked out the company domain. HOST=%sac-p* SERVICE=* EXSERVICE=conn MAIL brian.lynch at xx.xx.com COLOR=red,yellow

To clear the list of patches, I've packed up an RC5 which is now available http://sourceforge.net/project/hobbitmon/ and on http://www.hswn.dk/beta/ This solves all of the problems that have been reported with alerts in RC4.
