Hi,

I am getting email alerts from xymon and I think it is using the default
"TEXT" format. Is there any way to change this.  Anyone having a quick
pointer. 

 

This is how I receive the email. :(

 

&red Interface pether2 is down

 

Alarming on (lo,pether3,pether4,ether1,pether2,ether2)

<table border=1 cellpadding=5>

<tr><td>Ifc name</td><td>Ifc speed</td><td>Ifc status</td></tr>

<tr><td>lo</td><td>10.00 Mbps</td><td>&green up</td></tr>

<tr><td>pether3</td><td>4.29 Gbps</td><td>&green up</td></tr>

<tr><td>pether4</td><td>4.29 Gbps</td><td>&green up</td></tr>

<tr><td>ether1</td><td>1000.00 Mbps</td><td>&green up</td></tr>

<tr><td>pether2</td><td>0.00 bps</td><td>&red down</td></tr>

<tr><td>ether2</td><td>0.00 bps</td><td>&green admin down</td></tr> </table>

 

Thanks & Regards

Jasbir Saharan

Jasbir,

I think what you'll want to take a look at is the "FORMAT=" option on
recipient lines in the alerts.cfg file.

>From https://xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/alerts.cfg.5.html


FORMAT=formatstring Format of the text message with the alert. Default is
"TEXT" (suitable for e-mail alerts). "PLAIN" is the same as text, but
without the URL link to the status webpage. "SMS" is a short message with
no subject for SMS alerts. "SCRIPT" is a brief message template for
scripts.


HTH,

Thanks JC for your reply,
I had a look at the Format parameter but not sure if it accepts
"Format=html" or not.  It just says TEXT or PLAIN... I need a html format so
table is shown in the email... 

Thanks & Regards

Xymon doesn't directly have a "full" mime-enabled HTML format (although it
would be a nice addition) that would more guarantee that a table in the
status comes out as intended. (Some mail clients will try to interpret any
HTML they see, which can result in a usable hybrid look, however.)


A number of folks have written various HTML-ish alerts usable via the
SCRIPT option instead of having xymon itself do the mailing.

Try having a look at: https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/alerts
