This is wrong. You're trying to use regular expressions for mail addresses - that has never been possible. Reg. expressions are for matching hostnames, testnames and such - not for mail adresses.
$pg-rich=rsmrcina at wi.rr.com $pg-tom=2628531588 at vtext.com tbrockman at ourdomain.com
will do what you want.
HOST=%(vse*|vm*) DURATION>5m MAIL $pg-tom MAIL $pg-rich
So if any test on a host beginning with vse or vm fails, both Tom and Rich will get a page after 5 minutes.
When I test the process, I get the following:
hobbit at hobbit1:~/server/bin> ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test vm2 conn 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Using default environment file /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg 00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 send_alert vm2:conn state Paging 00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Matching host:service:page 'vm2:conn:' against rule line 145 00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Failed 'HOST=%(vse*|vm*) DURATION>5m' (min. duration 0<300)
You need to pass a duration value to the --test option, otherwise it runs the test matching assuming the alert has just triggered (so the duration is 0 seconds, which is less than your setting of 5 minutes). Try ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test vm2 conn 500
(the "500" is seconds).
