Hi,
Any progress on this one (see below)? Currently NOTICEs seem to be sent out when an alert is enabled but not when it is disabled (where it is a 'recovered' instead). This appears to be a regression since this message: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2005/11/msg00117.html shows that DISABLED NOTICEs did use to be sent a few years back. I am using Hobbit 4.2.0 with no patches.
Example e-mail when I disable a test:
Subject: Hobbit SebTest:conn recovered
Body: red Tue Mar 18 18:54:07 2008 conn NOT ok
Service conn on SebTest is not OK : Host does not respond to ping
System unreachable for 51 poll periods (15086 seconds)
I also tried upgrading to yesterday's snapshot, but that didn't help. Actually it was far worse, because after disabling a test, I got the e-mail as above, the test was shown as disabled on bb.html, and then hobbitd core dumped, and when it was restarted by hobbitlaunch, the test was no longer disabled and I got another alert. Looking at the core dumps now, it looks like it is core dumping approximately every 5 minutes, so I'll send another e-mail about that, plus another possibly related issue I found with the snapshot.
In addition, one of the alerts I got on this particular test said: System unreachable for 5985 poll periods (1813435 seconds) And this was just after it went red. Maybe it was so soon afterwards that something went wrong in the calculations? It should have been 1 poll period.
Kind regards,
Sebastian

Hello,
Currently when an alert is raised, and an administrator disables the alert, an email is sent stating that the resource has been recovered. The body of the email still says that the test is "Not OK" , but the subject of the email still says Recovered.
I don't know how difficult this would be to configure, but would it be possible to have the subject of this email stat the the alert has been disabled instead?
Thanks,
Jeff
