Henrik,
In regards to double combobs, since no one is replying I suppose either no one is using this feature or it is broken?
As a side note:
xymoncmd xymond_alert --test host service --duration=29 --color=red
00002332 2011-08-07 12:57:58 *** Match with 'EXHOST=$HOSTS_EXCLUDED HOST=* SERVICE=service COLOR=red' *** 00002332 2011-08-07 12:57:58 Matching host:service:page 'host:service:Site/Platform,Place' against rule line 432 00002332 2011-08-07 12:57:58 Failed 'SCRIPT=$SENDPAGE $PAGE_NMS DURATION>30m REPEAT=365d' (min. duration 1740<1800)
The duration above is in minutes when clearly the documentation specifies seconds?
--test HOST SERVICE [options]
Shows which alert rules matches the given HOST/SERVICE combination. Useful to debug configu-
ration problems, and see what rules are used for an alert.
The possible options are:
--color=COLORNAME The COLORNAME parameter is the color of the alert: red, yellow or purple.
--duration=SECONDS The SECONDS parameter is the duration of the alert in seconds.
--group=GROUPNAME The GROUPNAME paramater is a groupid string from the analysis.cfg file.~David

Does anyone out there using double leveled combos, combos of combos that work? If so perhaps you could share an example from your config that works? Thanks in advance,
Here is the example from the man pages:
WebCluster.http = (Web1.http || Web2.http) AppSrvCluster.procs = (AppSrv1.conn && AppSrv1.procs) || (AppSrv2.conn && AppSrv2.procs) Customer.cluster = WebCluster.http && AppSrvCluster.procs
The first line defines a new test, with hostname "WebCluster" and the columnname "http". It will be green if the http test on either the "Web1" or the "Web2" server is green.
The second line defines a "procs" test for the "AppSrvCluster" host. Each of the AppSrv1 and AppSrv2 hosts is checked for "conn" (ping) and their "procs" test. On each host, both of these must be green, but the combined test is green if that condition is fulfilled on just one of the hosts.
The third line uses the two first tests to build a "double combined" test, defining a test that shows the overall health of the system.
So in theory it should work? For reference we are using Xymon 4.3.3 on RedHat Linux Enterprise 5.7.

Hi, Anyone using double combo messages? I was following the man pages, which state they are possible, but my tests calculate "-1" and the color comes out $unknown. Thu Jun 30 18:43:24 2011 (iam.db&&gam.db) = (-1&&-1) = 1 &unknown iam.db &unknown gam.db Sample config from combo.cfg. I have changed hostnames to protect the innocent...combos based on the values returned by dbcheck.pl...our DB's are served on 4 node Oracle Grid clusters, which is why we have alias' for the DB, such as servername_dbname. Hostnames are defined in hosts.d as "0.0.0.0 gam # noconn nonongreen noproppurple:*" gam/iam/impact all defined the same in hosts. iam.db = (servername\_iam.audit && servername\_iam.conn && servername\_iam.extent && servername\_iam.info && servername\_iam.invobj && servername\_iam.locks && servername\_iam.rollback && servername\_iam.session && servername\_iam.tblspace && servername\_iam.trends && servername\_iam.uptime) gam.db = (servername\_gam.audit && servername\_gam.conn && servername\_gam.extent && servername\_gam.info && servername\_gam.invobj && servername\_gam.locks && servername\_gam.rollback && servername\_gam.session && servername\_gam.tblspace && servername\_gam.trends && servername\_gam.uptime) These two above work fine. They are single layer combo tests...All my single layer combo tests work. The double combo is this: impact.db = (iam.db && gam.db) - same with our without parenthesys...if I use single ampersand, color propogates up, but staus still shows &unknown. We have tried multiple combinations taking the combo down to barest form, and still get the errors (&unknown). Log doesn't really help... combostatus.log.1:21316 2011-06-30 03:58:03 Symbolic 'event.db&&gam.db&&iam.db&&jbpm.db' converted to '-1&&-1&&-1&&-1' I put the --debug on the cmd in tasks, and not logging much else helpful. Appreciate some thoughs or suggestions. Rich Rager VZB
