Yep, can be done. You need to use groups.

Try it like this. In hobbit-clients.cfg HOST=fileserv1 DISK /local/dsk/vol0 95 99 GROUP=Finance DISK /local/dsk/vol1 80 90 GROUP=Development DISK /local/dsk/vol2 90 95 GROUP=Finance DISK /local/dsk/vol3 100 101 GROUP=Retail DISK /local/dsk/vol4 85 90 GROUP=Retail

Now you have set up 3 groups for alerting. Finance, Development and Retail.

Now in hobbit-alerts.cfg you do this. GROUP=Finance MAIL fin-admin at mydomain.com REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED MAIL moneyPHB at mydomain.com COLOUR=red

GROUP=Development MAIL codemonkeys at mydomain.com REPEAT=1440

GROUP=Retail MAIL PHB at mydomain.com RECOVERED

There is brief mention of the GROUP feature in the hobbit-alerts.cfg and hobbit-clients.cfg man pages in Xymon help pages but it hardly does any justice to how powerful this feature is.

It also doesn't effect "normal" alerts. You can still have hobbit-alerts.cfg entries along the line of

HOST=fileserv1 SERVICE=disk,conn,procs MAIL unixadmin at mydomain.com REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED

Hi !

Is it possible to configure alerting for different partitions/disks on a fileserver to/for different group-admins ?

e.g.

On my fileserver there are luns for different groups

/dev/mapper/ddn_lun1 7811405140 7301180228 119533280      99% /ost/hh_A_0 /dev/mapper/ddn_lun2 7811405140 7359390896  61322612     100% /ost/hh_B_0 /dev/mapper/ddn_lun3 7811405140 7360586140  60127368     100% /ost/hh_B_2 /dev/mapper/ddn_lun4 7811405140 6983365056 437348452      95% /ost/hh_C_0

So, i want to inform the group-admins of B that their space is empty

dev/mapper/ddn_lun2 7811405140 7359390896  61322612     100% /ost/hh_B_0 /dev/mapper/ddn_lun3 7811405140 7360586140  60127368     100% /ost/hh_B_2

but don't want to bother the other group-admins of A and C ...

thanks in advance & cheers,
