FW: [hobbit] TS - Trying to create an escalation in hobbit-alerts.cfg
I sent this out 12/4/2009 and got no responses. Can anyone guide me in the correct direction?
I also have another request:
If I have 10 windows servers that reboot every nightbetween 3-3:30am and I don't want to notify, and wake up, during this timeframe,
would I require multiple hobbit-alerts.cfg entries forthat server? Of the following lines, which will function correctly?
Can I have multiple TIME= options on the HOST= line?
Also, does the server understand 0000 = midnight? Or2400?
HOST=def.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED TIME=*:0000:0300TIME=*:0330:2359
MAIL ....
OR - Would this also be acceptable?
HOST=def.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED
MAIL tom at def.com TIME=*:0000:0300TIME=*:0330:2359
OR - Would this also be acceptable?
HOST=def.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED
MAIL tom at def.com TIME=*:0000:0300
MAIL tom at def.com TIME=*:0330:2359Thanks,

It the best way to create an escalation to do it:
HOST=abc.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED
# EVERYDAY Notify immediately and every10 minutes
MAIL billybob at abc.com COLOR=redREPEAT=10m
HOST=abc.com SERVICE=conn RECOVERED TIME=1-5:0000-2359 DURATION>59m
# WEEKDAY Notify weekdays after 1 hourand every hour
MAIL jimmyjames at abc.com COLOR=redREPEAT=60m
HOST=abc.com SERVICE=conn TIME=0,6 RECOVERED DURATION>179m
# WEEKEND Notify after 3 hours
MAIL hank at abc.com COLOR=red REPEAT=7dHOST=abc.com SERVICE=conn TIME=0,6 RECOVERED DURATION>479m
# WEEKEND Notify after 8 hours
MAIL jullie at abc.com COLOR=redREPEAT=7d
I don't believe that the DURATION= can be used on the MAIL line only on the HOST= line per the help on the web page.
Will this work as stated?
If you don't put SERVICE= on the line will it function for all services? Or do you need something line '=*'?

Tom, Here's a snippet from my hobbit-alerts file
PAGE=hometown MAIL local_sysadmin at server.com DURATION>2 color=red REPEAT=120 RECOVERED EXSERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com MAIL local_sysadmin at server.com DURATION>2 color=yellow REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED EXSERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com MAIL local_sysadmin at server.com DURATION>11 color=red REPEAT=120 RECOVERED SERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com MAIL local_sysadmin at server.com DURATION>11 color=yellow REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED SERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com
I think that answers your question from 12/4/2009
In regards to the nightly reboot, you should put a DOWNTIME into your bb-hosts file, so during that time frame it'll go blue instead of red
0000 is midnight in hobbit/xymon

Paul Nixon, Thanks for the appropriate answers, I did not find the DOWNTIME= option in the help portion of the screen. But I did find it in the bb-hosts man page. I'll give it a try ASAP!
