Hi Neil,
You could use a script to create a list of the critical hosts into a file, include that file, then specify the actions.
In alerts.cfg
include hostlist Then put what ever actions you want after that.
The script to create the list is: #!/bin/sh
list=grep = $XYMONSERVERROOT/etc/critical.cfg |cut -f1 -d'|'
ALERTLIST="host=" FIRST="Y" for host in $list do if [ $FIRST = "Y" ] then ALERTLIST="${ALERTLIST}$host" FIRST="N" else ALERTLIST="${ALERTLIST},$host" fi done echo $ALERTLIST >$XYMONSERVERROOT/etc/hostlist
This script would need to be run every time you make a change to critical hosts.
Regards
Jeremy

Hi folks,
Beyond having the script check in critical.cfg for the alerting server/test combination is there any other way to configure an option in alerts.cfg so that only alerts that are red and on the Critical config page will trigger the action.
I know I can use COLOR=RED but there doesn?t seem to be a PAGE option that equates to the Critical page.
Thanks,
Neil SImmonds
