RECOVERED notification
Hi folks,
I am running XYmon 4.3.12 (self compiled) on a RHEL 6.3 and have a question about the behaviour of sending "RECOVERED" messages. I've been forced to send SNMP traps of alerts to a Patrol console and of course they also want to have "RECOVERED" messages to close these alerts automatically. But now I've seen in my logs that if someone disables a test that has an alert another alert trap is being sent out instead of a "RECOVERED" trap. I.e. I have a server that has an alert in msgs an red alert is sent to Patrol and the responsible admin is called. He sets the state of msgs to blue for a certain time and another red alert is sent to Patrol instead of a green trap saying everything back to normal. Is this an expected behaviour? I thought even blue would trigger a recovery message since I have the following lines in my xymonserver.cfg:
ALERTCOLORS="red,yellow,purple" # Colors that may trigger an alert message OKCOLORS="green,blue,clear" # Colors that may trigger a recovery message
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards Torsten
Ok,
forget about this question. Found the answer by reading the manpage of alerts.cfg instead of relying on the comments in alerts.cfg itself.
manpage:
RECOVERED Is "0" if the service is alerting, "1" if the service has recovered, "2" if the service was disabled.
alerts.cfg:
RECOVERED - Is "1" if the service has recovered.
Sorry for the noise Torsten
