Aye, there is nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, I think this is a BUG.
Xymon Version 4.3.3. Configuration as follows:
analysis.cfg: HOST=myhost.mydomain.com GROUP=heather PROC TESTtestTEST 1
(equally, you could have the GROUP entry on the PROC line, doesn't matter in this instance as the result is the same)
alerts.cfg: HOST=* MAIL heather1 at mydomain.com RECOVERED
GROUP=heather MAIL heather2 at mydomain.com RECOVERED
When the alert is generated, both e-mail addresses get the notification. But when the alert is cleared, only heather1 at mydomain.com gets the recovery message.
I've tried lots of different configuration options, and the only conclusion I can come to is that recovery messages to GROUPs do not work. :(

NOTICE means that when you enable or disable an alert you'll get a msg. I can get RECOVERED to work on HOST or MAIL or SCRIPT lines, just as long as they aren't in a GROUP.
RECOVERED and COLOR=RED on same line?

You can’t.
I’ve never used notice. What does it do?
I’ve never had any luck with recovered on anything except the Mail line.

The test for the alert works fine - but how do you mimic a "recovered" message with the --test option? I don't think you can.

Yeah, I tried that too. No joy.

I generally put the RECOVERED on the mail line.

Hi,
I want to be able to group servers so that alerts for one bunch of servers go to one group of people, and another group of servesr to another group of people.
I used the following config -
analysis.cfg:
HOST=myhost.mydomain.com GROUP=mygroup
PROC blah PROC blahblah DISK ....etcalerts.cfg:
GROUP=mygroup NOTICE RECOVERED COLOR=red
MAIL me at mydomain.com REPEAT=15Now, I tested this by stopping one of the PROCs listed, and I successfully received the alert e-mail. However, when I restarted that process to clear the alert, the status goes green but I do not receive any recovery message.
I also tried just having the GROUP defined against each individual PROC line (rather than against the HOST), but that didn't result in a recovery message either.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
I can provide the debug output from the alert process if required.
Cheers,
Heather
