I have a bit of a problem with my alert config.
Suppose I have two macros defined for host groups
$databases=%(sdb.*) $unix=%(sdb.*|www.*)
Then I create some records like...
HOST=$databases MAIL managers at foo.com MAIL dba at foo.com
HOST=$unix MAIL managers at foo.com MAIL unix at foo.com
The problem is then, that the managers group will get two alerts when there is a problem with an sdb* box.
This was not the behavior under BB. Is there a way to keep the duplicate alerts out?
Try to use the EXHOST tag:
HOST=$unix EXHOST=$databases MAIL managers at foo.com MAIL unix at foo.com
