Hello,
My hobbit-alert.cfg file has the following line in it:
HOST=* MAIL mprice at hst.nasa.gov
I can run the command like this with the output below:
[hobbit at hobbithost bin]$ ./hobbitd_alert --test v43mgt conn 00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 send_alert v43mgt:conn state Paging 00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Matching host:service:page 'v43mgt:conn:' against rule line 129 00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 *** Match with 'HOST=*' *** 00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Matching host:service:page 'v43mgt:conn:' against rule line 129 00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 *** Match with 'HOST=*' *** 00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Mail alert with command '/var/spool/mail/hobbit "Hobbit [12345] v43mgt:conn CRITICAL (RED)" mprice at hst.nasa.gov'
It seems to work but I never get the test email, I do get regular alarms when a host is down though. What is wrong my testing??? I just configured the hobbit server to alert me via email, so i am trying to test this.
thanx in advance, michael a. price
