[xymon] hobbit-alerts.cfg question

Hi Colin

One line per alert, with RECOVERED on the end. Change it to something like this. MAIL sms at somecompany.com SERVICE=proliant FORMAT=SMS REPEAT=1440m RECOVERED

Cheers Vernon

Hi all

The alerting is starting to take shape but I've a question regarding how the alerting works. If I have a stanza similar to the following, how is it evaluated? Once for all hosts, or for one host at a time?

HOST=%.* # Proliant tests MAIL sms at somecompany.com SERVICE=proliant FORMAT=SMS REPEAT=1440m MAIL sms at somecompany.com SERVICE=proliant FORMAT=SMS RECOVERED

   # conn where status is RED
   MAIL sms at somecompany.com COLOR=red SERVICE=conn EXPAGE=dev

REPEAT=1440m MAIL sms at somecompany.com COLOR=red SERVICE=conn EXPAGE=dev RECOVERED

   # conn where status is RED (dev/test)
   MAIL email at somecompany.com COLOR=red SERVICE=conn PAGE=dev

REPEAT=1440m MAIL email at somecompany.com COLOR=red SERVICE=conn PAGE=dev RECOVERED

   # cpu,disk,memory where status is RED
   MAIL sms at somecompany.com COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory

EXPAGE=dev REPEAT=1440m MAIL sms at somecompany.com COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory EXPAGE=dev RECOVERED

   # Dev servers
   MAIL email at somecompany.com COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory

PAGE=dev REPEAT=1440m MAIL email at somecompany.com COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory PAGE=dev RECOVERED

   # Non-dev status YELLOW
   MAIL email at somecompany.com COLOR=yellow

SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory REPEAT=1440m DURATION>30m MAIL email at somecompany.com COLOR=yellow SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory RECOVERED

Also, I've noticed that when a fault occurs I get two emails (or sms') and another when the fault is rectified. I'm thinking this is because of the 'RECOVERED' line but i thought this would only trigger when the fault goes. Have I misunderstood?

Thanks
