You set the default repeat interval with the "--repeat=N" option for hobbitd_alert. Change it in etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg .
I like to have FORMAT assumed as default to TEXT. Right now I have to atleast mentioned the word FORMAT in all my 200 rules separately
FORMAT=TEXT already is the default setting ...
Same thing for COLOR. Currently I have to mention COLOR=red which I like to set as default. Do I set that in the --alertcolors?
If you use "--alertcolors=red" then it cannot be overridden in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file. So if you do want some tests to send an alert when they go yellow, then you must use "--alertcolors=red,yellow" (the default is red,yellow,purple) and add the COLOR=... definition for each rule or recipient.
BTW, if I choose COLOR=RED it fails, I assume it is case sensitive?!
Yes, it is. I'll change that, having things case-sensitive for no good reason is just annoying.
It would be great if I could Add more than one email alias in the same MAIL line.
This was added in RC2. Doing
MAIL webmaster at foo.com admin at foo.com COLOR=redwill work as you expect it to. If you have a macro that expands to several mail-adresses, then that will work too. Like
$ADMINS="webmaster at foo.com engineering at foo.com" HOST=* MAIL $ADMINS COLOR=red
So let me get this clear. If I setup "--alertcolors=red" in the hobbitlaunch.cfg file (and restart hobbit) I do not have to add COLOR=red and FORMAT for the default TEXT alert for RED only to work?
Sorry for such a long question.
Realizing now how simple the alert file now compare to bbwarrules and bbwarnsetup files
Thank you so much for such an awesome tool
