So we have custom tests that developers/maintainers of the application want alerts for just once a day. But we use a script to mail to them pretty printed html, so I can't use REPEAT=1d on the SCRIPT line, and putting REPEAT on the host line doesn't work.

Can I put the REPEAT on its own line?

HOST=NMSRep DURATION>7 SERVICE=LogMasterErr,NMSRepScheduler,NMSRepTask,RepDisc_Issues COLOR=red,yellow,purple RECOVERED

REPEAT=1d

SCRIPT /usr/local/scripts/html_mail.pl $NG-NMSRep-DEV

Or perhaps, embed the repeat into the argument of the script?

Thanks,

Hello, Paul.

I wonder if it's that you have the entire thing on one line that is the issue.

I mention this because I have the following set up for one of my test systems:

HOST=in-nvaderax01

SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/red-alert-xymon-mail.sh <my email address> DURATION>1 REPEAT=1m COLOR=red SERVICE=procs,msgs RECOVERED

I tested it out, just now, by echoing the alarm string into a monitored log and it works just fine. I got the first alert 1 minute after the text was detected in my log and another, a minute later.
