I could use some help with the syntax for alert using macros. I tried defining servers as such:
$GROUP1=server1 server2 server3 $SYSADMIN=kevin at domain.com HOST=$GROUP1 MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red REPEAT=15m RECOVERED
This is wrong.
When you use macros, you must remember that it's purely a text substitution.
If you did not use macros, you'd write the rule as
HOST=%server1|server2|server3
So to do that with a macro, the macro must be defined exactly like that. Thus:
$GROUP1=%server1|server2|server3 $SYSADMIN=kevin at domain.com HOST=$GROUP1 MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red REPEAT=15m RECOVERED
