I have the following rules in my alerts.cfg file:
HOST=%.* COLOR=red,purple EXSERVICE=conn,cpu,backup,msgs,content EXHOST=%netapp.* SCRIPT /usr/lib/hobbit/server/ext/pg/cfrun cfrun FORMAT=SCRIPT REPEAT=10
HOST=%.* COLOR=red,purple EXSERVICE=content TIME=*:0010:2355 MAIL bb-oncall FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=60 DURATION>3 RECOVERED MAIL bb-pg-oncall FORMAT=PLAIN REPEAT=60 DURATION>3 RECOVERED
I get the alerts, but about 10 minutes elapse between seeing the first script alert fire, and then seeing the mail actions fire: Wed Aug 24 22:11:04 2005 web08.quris.net.http (66.179.26.73) cfrun 1124943064 600 Wed Aug 24 22:21:53 2005 web08.quris.net.http (66.179.26.73) cfrun 1124943713 600 Wed Aug 24 22:21:53 2005 web08.quris.net.http (66.179.26.73) bb-oncall 1124943713 600 Wed Aug 24 22:21:53 2005 web08.quris.net.http (66.179.26.73) bb-pg-oncall 1124943713 600
Where does that 10 minute delay come from? How can I make things cycle faster so the DURATION parameter makes sense?
Thanks in advance. -Alan
