Hello,
I have a collection of pages and subpages that compose a system. There are several systems in my xymon hosts file. Each system looks at a set of machines, VMs and http targets. And each system is listed on an 'Environments' page, which only has links (and icons) to the subpages for the systems (i.e. no URL or http info is connected to that Environments page)
Periodically, each system is brought down for maintenance. But when that happens, I get swamped with alerts about every component of that system.
Does anyone know of a way to get one, high-level alert, say from the subpages under my ovmEnvironments page instead of 100+ alerts from my monitored elements ?
I have not seen any discussions like this in the archives, but I could have missed them.
thanks Greg
Here is a modified snippet of my hosts.cfg file
page ovmEnvironments OVMEnvironments title OVM Environments

and here is a snippet from alerts.cfg which DO NOT fire when any of the subpage indicators turn red:
