Hello,
Our Xymon server is monitoring about a hundred hosts and has been doing so nicely for years.? However DURATION rule is being ignored. I have several lines like this in alerts.cfg:
SCRIPT <script location> <email address> SERVICE=replication DURATION>30m REPEAT=30d COLOR=red,purple
Replication is a custom check. But the alert (scripted email) is being sent as soon as the check goes red, not 30 minutes later. Any suggestions as to why this could be? Using Xymon 4.3.30.
Is it possible that it's another line in alerts.cfg that is being matched? You can run xymond_alert in test mode to see what'll match, e.g.
/usr/lib/xymon/server/bin/xymond_alert --test host.example.com replication --color=red --duration=29
will show if you have any rules that are matching when the replication test for host.example.com has been red for 29 minutes.
