I have email macros configured thusly:
$pg-rich=%rsmrcina at wi.rr.com $pg-tom=%(2628531588 at vtext.com|tbrockman at ourdomain.com)
In other words, Rich can be reached at a single email address, Tom with two addresses.
The notification is set up like this:
HOST=%(vse*|vm*) DURATION>5m MAIL $pg-tom MAIL $pg-rich
So if any test on a host beginning with vse or vm fails, both Tom and Rich will get a page after 5 minutes.
When I test the process, I get the following:
hobbit at hobbit1:~/server/bin> ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test vm2 conn 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Using default environment file /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg 00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 send_alert vm2:conn state Paging 00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Matching host:service:page 'vm2:conn:' against rule line 145 00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Failed 'HOST=%(vse*|vm*) DURATION>5m' (min. duration 0<300)
This is certainly not what I expected. If I remove the DURATION value from the notification, I get:
hobbit at hobbit1:~/server/bin> ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test vm2 conn 2005-05-31 14:07:04 Using default environment file /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 send_alert vm2:conn state Paging 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 Matching host:service:page 'vm2:conn:' against rule line 145 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 *** Match with 'HOST=%(vse*|vm*)' *** 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 Matching host:service:page 'vm2:conn:' against rule line 145 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 *** Match with 'HOST=%(vse*|vm*)' *** 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit [12345] vm2:conn CRITICAL (RED)" %(2628531588 at vtext.com|tbrockman at ourdomain.com)' 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 Matching host:service:page 'vm2:conn:' against rule line 145 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 *** Match with 'HOST=%(vse*|vm*)' *** 00002433 2005-05-31 14:07:04 Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit [12345] gredevm2:conn CRITICAL (RED)" %rsmrcina at wi.rr.com'
Is this correct? Do the macros get expanded when the emails are generated?
Thanks.
