Hi Stefan,
The STOP essentially tells Xymon to stop looking for where to send the current alert. The reason I don't have it at the end of the Windows Support group is because I also want any alerts that are specifically for msgs to be sent to an extra Email user therefore the stop is after that user.
Each line in my hosts file looks something like these,
0.0.0.0 servername # NOPROPYELLOW:disk delayyellow=cpu:15 delayred=cpu:15 CLASS:aix
0.0.0.0 servername # NOPROPYELLOW:disk delayyellow=cpu:15 delayred=cpu:15 CLASS:win32
0.0.0.0 servername # NOPROPYELLOW:disk delayyellow=cpu:15 delayred=cpu:15 CLASS:linux
The CLASS setting allows my alerts.cfg to work
It may be that there is a better way of doing this but I haven't found it yet and this seems to work ok for my requirements.

Thanks. I'm not sure of the usage of STOP here. What does it do? you've got it at the end of GROUP=sqlsupport but not at the end of GROUP=windowssupport and others Can you show me a sample of your hosts.cfg as well?

It seems to work fine. The correct people get the correct Emails. I did have to add CLASS:win32 etc on the end of each server definition in hosts.cfg to make it work though.

Hi
Can anyone please give me an example of a more complicated alerts.cfg? I need to just see how the structure looks. I can't seem to get the group/page alerts working, not sure if you need to just specify PAGE= or PAGE= and HOST= both. I know there's just something I'm missing.
Thanks
