A related question: if hobbit-alerts.cfg is modified, does hobbit automatically pick up the new version, or is a restart required?
Restart's are evil - they disrupt things. Configuration changes will be picked up automatically - at least when the next alert happens.
Excellent. Of course now I've found a problem...
My test hobit-alerts.cfg:
$HG-TEST=host01|host02
HOST=$HG-TEST SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email bruce_mail MAIL blysik at shutterfly.com
And then I run the dump config:
-bash-2.05b$ ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg hobbitd_alert --dump-config HOST= SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email bruce_mail FORMAT=SCRIPT REPEAT=30 MAIL blysik at shutterfly.com REPEAT=30
Shouldn't there be some hosts showing up after HOST= ?
