It is indeed triggering, the notifications.log file show that the script-alert happens: > Thu Jul 21 13:52:09 2011 ads2.procs (68.168.100.16) > "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:871321084716:ops" 1311281521 300 I cannot see which Xymon version you are running. If you are running an older version, then an explanation *could* be that the alert text - which includes the full text from the "procs" status page - is passed via an environment variable to your script, and your system cannot cope with such large environment variables. That would cause the script execution to fail. That is about the only explanation I can come up with. The 4.3.x version truncates the status-text to 4 kB by default, so it avoids this problem. I would suggest that you try upgrading Xymon. Regards, Henrik

There are some on xymonton - http://xymonton.org/alerts As part of your script you will need to get the page name. It is available via xymondboard/hobbitdboard command using the XMH/BBH fields: http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man5/xymon-xmh.5.html Depending on your xymon version (4.3.0 or later/old version syntax below - substitute xymonhost for your server name - or use localhost if running on the xymon server): xymon xymonhost "xymondboard host=$BBHOSTNAME test=info fields=XMH_PAGENAME" bb xymonhost "hobbitdboard host=$BBHOSTNAME test=info fields=BBH_PAGENAME" David. -- David Baldwin - Assistant Director, Infrastructure (acting) Information and Communication Technology Services Australian Sports Commission http://ausport.gov.au Tel 02 62147830 Fax 02 62141830 PO Box 176 Belconnen ACT 2616 david.baldwin at ausport.gov.au Leverrier Street Bruce ACT 2617 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep up to date with what's happening in Australian sport visit http://www.ausport.gov.au This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential and privileged information.
