Hello,

In my bb-hosts, I have a section filled with servers where the test is noconn

page serversNOCONN 123.123.123.110 server1 # noconn 123.123.123.112 server2 # noconn 123.123.123.113 server3 # noconn

and another section where the servers have "real" tests

page serversTESTS 123.123.123.110 server1 # testip !ftp !telnet

If I try to make an alert rule with the following parameter, to retrieve all red alerts on the page serversNOCONN :

PAGE=serversNOCONN .... MAIL ....

I received no alerts. If I check with the test command :

bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test server3 red conn

I get this message :

Failed 'PAGE=serversNOCONN [...] (pagename not in include list)

My questions are :

• Is it because hosts with noconn test only are not matched ?
• What is the "include list"?
• did I made something wrong somewhere ?

Hi Pierre

maybe you can use the "prefer" tag in bb-hosts :

prefer When a single host is defined multiple time in the bb-hosts file, bbgen tries to guess which definition is the best to use for the information used on the "info" column, or for the NOPROPRED and other bbgen-specific settings. Host definitions that have a "noconn" tag or an IP of 0.0.0.0 get lower priority.

By using the "prefer" tag you tell bbgen that this host definition
should be used.

Note: This only applies to hosts that are defined multiple times in
the bb-hosts file, although it will not hurt to add it on other
hosts as well.
