Hi,

Here's a short excerpt from Matthew Moldvan's email addressed to myself from a few days ago. This should be of help to you. Basically, try passing on the alert by hand and see if you don't have any STOP or IGNORE statements for the host or alert that match before your alerting rule.

--- cut here --- A few very useful ways I recently found to test the regular expressions with xymon are the pcretest and hobbitd_client command.

-bash-3.2$ pcretest PCRE version 6.6 06-Feb-2006

re> /^asd$/ data> asdf No match data> asd 0: asd

[root at zenls01h ~]# su - xymon -bash-3.2$ ./server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_client --test 2010-02-06 19:39:42 Using default environment file /usr/lib64/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg Hostname (.=end, ?=dump, !=reload) []:

From there you can try out the host name that's not matching up as well as the test. --- and here ---

hello

you can execute a script on alert. So you can write a script to execute the httpd restart.
