I was having trouble with xymond_alert not sending out all of the emails that it should, it was only doing maybe a quarter of the messages. I checked the alerts.cfg file and didn't find anything. Then I set the --debug flag for xymond_alert and things started working again. I've removed the --debug flag and things are still working correctly. Any ideas on what could have been going wrong here?
Thanks, Larry Barber
First question I guess would be trying to figure out if restarting the process itself fixed it, or if --debug did something. Also, how heavy is the alert volume?
I'd start with considering increasing the buffer size, and also check out the alerts checkpoint file (in $XYMONTMP, I think?) and see if there are any clues with that -- perms, size, etc.
HTH,
