Hi,
I have a problem where Hobbit is not properly sending alerts based on the PAGE criteria. When I look at the info button for TESTHOST and TESTHOST1, it *DOES* shows an alert to test at test.org. When I run the test 'bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test TESTHOST --color=red' or 'bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test TESTHOST --color=red' it *DOESN'T' show that it matched an alert:
00023954 2006-12-10 21:14:51 Matching host:service:page 'TESTHOST:--color=red:' against rule line 314 00023954 2006-12-10 21:14:51 Failed 'PAGE=$SERVER1,$SERVER2 COLOR=red' (pagename not in include list)
I also did a real test of taking the host down and no page went out and nothing is listed in the /var/log/hobbit/notifications.log.
THIS IS URGENT IF ANYONE CAN HELP. I recently switched my alerts to be by pagename and thought it should work based on the info page but I guess not.
Thanks.

The command is wrong, since you cannot have options after the hostname - but you do need a columnname instead. Try
bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test --color=red TESTHOST conn
I tried using your config files, and cannot reproduce the problem; I get the alert. Is this your entire hobbit-alerts.cfg ?

Hi Henrik,
This was a very downsized version. I have about 150 hosts I am monitoring right now with extensive alerting. It's only the PAGE= alerting parameter that is not working. I changed it to use HOST= today and it is working fine but is obviously not the best way to do it.
With the HOST=, the testing command I used with --color=red after, actually worked. It only didn't work with the PAGE=. Even in the notifications.log, it showed sending alerts to only individuals *not* in the PAGE= alerting items (i.e. using HOST= alerting options).
Thanks.
