I no longer do much work for that client, and haven't been on site for over a year, and have no idea when I will be there again. However, from memory, it was really simple. In hobbit-alerts.cfg (looks like it's been renamed to alerts.cfg in the new version) you do something like this HOST=foo SERVICE=stuff COLOR=red SCRIPT=/my/script/location/mail_helpdesk.ksh
Check here for an example (commented out) http://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/viewconf.sh?alert
Then your script, /my/script/location/mail_helpdesk.ksh will look something like this #!/usr/bin/ksh echo " Hi Helpdesk
Please log a high call and assign it to the DBA team. Their disks are on fire, and need to be doused with fine lager, which they must deliver to the sysadmin team before COB.
Thanks Sysadmin Team " | mailx helldesk at mycompany.com
Make it executable, and it should be a go.
You can also customise it a little. For one, you can add command line variables, which you can define in the alerts file, and also, there are a lot of variable automagically defined for you by Xymon. (Check the alerts man page for more)
Try something like this. HOST=foo SERVICE=stuff COLOR=red SCRIPT=/my/script/location/mail_generic.ksh helldesk at mycompany.com DBA
#!/usr/bin/ksh RECIPIENT=$1 LOGGROUP=$2 CALL_LEVEL=medium [ "$BBCOLORLEVEL" = "RED" ] && CALL_LEVEL=high
echo " Hi $RECIPIENT
Please log a $CALL_LEVEL call to $LOGGROUP, with the subject \"$BBHOSTNAME - $BBSVCNAME problem - Please Investigate.\" Please include this link in the service call ticket for more information $(echo $BBALPHAMSG | grep http)
Thanks Monitoring. " | mailx $RECIPIENT

I have written an email script which displays as html (of course you have to have a html enabled email client).
It checks for individual services and displays a fixed message, could also add checks for specific hosts to.
Here is a sample (not sure if html will display properly thru here) Xymon Alert (red) : files utnfrc01.stanwell.com

Use the script option in the alerts file. At a previous client, we had a very specific problem we were monitoring for. Instead of Xymon sending a standard alert email, I needed a set of detailed instructions sent out, indicating how to resolve the issue. I then created a script to send the custom email, instead. It worked so well, the client asked me to use the technique for a number of other problem areas. Most popular use was to send instructions to helpdesk, explaining who to log the call to, and the severity level.
Regards Vernon

Hi team,
Please suggest if there is any possibility to modify the body of the email alert as below as my client needs such format.

Hi team,
Please look at the below alert for system <hostname> and take the action.

Hi,
Quick and dirty solution to get &red lines to be sent out only (tested with xymon 4.2.2) Basicly $BBALPHAMSG variable is the key here!
hobbit-alerts.cfg: #----------------------------------------------------- GROUP=TESTGROUP SCRIPT /path/to/custom_alerts.sh test at test.com #-----------------------------------------------------
custom_alerts.sh: #----------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash
BBALPHAMSG=

custom_grep.pl: #----------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl

foreach $_ (@maches) { s/<.*?>//ig; # removing all the html tags print "$_ "; }

Hi team,
I need to customize the email body and pattern for the alerts receiving from xymon.
As in the below alert mail for disk ,
- we need the mail to display only the filesystem which is critical in individual mails and avoid displaying the the entire list of filesystems.
- We need to customise the body of the mail and add some meaningful text unique for each alert,let me know if any sample script can be used for it.
- in below mail /oracle/SRP/sapdata0 alert is shown in KB UNITS, can this be changed to show MB units free
Please suggest.thanks in advance
