Hello all,
I hope that someone might be able to help me here.
I have Hobbit server 4.2.0 installed on a Pc running Ubuntu 8. The
server is configured to monitor a couple of test servers (one
internal, and one external). Everything seems to function fine except
for the alerts.
My /etc/hobbit/hobbit-alerts.cfg file has the following lines:
HOST=bimload1 SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory,procs,conn
SCRIPT /usr/bin/sendalerts.pl n8
MAIL me at bimedia.netWhen I try to test this using: ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test bimload1
cpu I get the following:
2008-06-26 08:34:07 Using default environment file /usr/lib/hobbit/
client/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

00027518 2008-06-26 08:34:07 Mail alert with command 'mailx -s "Hobbit
[12345] bimload1:cpu CRITICAL (RED)" me at bimedia.net'
But when I check my mail logs and syslogs and hobbit logs it looks
like the sendalert.pl script never fires off, and the email is never
sent. I can send email using mailx from the command line and i can
run the sendalert.pl script form the command line, and both produce
the expected results. I have even sent the permissions for the
sendalrt.pl script to be 777 (yes this is a security risk but for now
I just wanted to make sure it was not a permissions issue). Why is
the script not running not the email being sent via hobbit-alert? Am
I missing anything? I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this
matter
Thank you, N8
