Joe,
I got your name from the html_mail.pl script. I recently updated to xymon 4.3.2 and tried to go live in production.
On all alerts it seems to send out alerts to this one email address. it seems to send out to all that are intended to receive the emails but the one email has only two hosts that it monitors and gets alerts from. now it gets emails on the entire environment.
I can't follow what the problem is.
The script gets called from the alerts.cfg file via the SCRIPT keyword. The hosts it applies to will be determined by the alerts.cfg file rules. The recipient for e-mails is specified by the RCPT environment variable when the script is called.
Without the old and new config to compare, I can't help any further.
I see a lot of references to BB, has this script been updated?
The environment variable names have not changed that I know of, but I haven't used it with 4.3.x myself yet.

Kevin,
Thanks David,
I have it running now. I am finding that when using the email ack function these messages are not getting parsed correctly. It is not seeing the delay or and comment text.
I have never used or tested the email ack function, so not sure what it is expecting.
http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man8/xymon-mailack.8.html
ADDING INFORMATION TO THE REPLY MAILBy default, an acknowledgment is valid for 1 hour. If you know in advance that solving the problem is going to take longer, you can change this by adding *delay=DURATION* to the subject of your mail reply or on a line in the reply message. Duration is in minutes, unless you add a trailing 'h' (for 'hours'), 'd' (for 'days') or 'w' (for 'weeks').
You can also include a message that will show up on the status-page together with the acknowledgment, e.g. to provide an explanation for the issue or some other information to the users. You can either put it at the end of the subject line as *msg=Some random text*, or you can just enter it in the e-mail as the first non-blank line of text in the mail (a "delay=N" line is ignored when looking for the message text).
May require some pre-processor to parse the ack message.

This is a multi-part message
Quite likely xymon-mailack doesn't handle MIME messages ("This is a multi-part message" would indicate this), since there would be too many options to have to cater for.
It is possibly a side effect in your MUA (Outlook?) of receiving an html formatted alert e-mail that by default an HTML reply will be generated - can you configure your mail client to do a plain text e-mail reply? Thunderbird has this feature in the address book selectable per user.
Did it work before you tried html_mail.pl ?
I don't think it is a limitation of html_mail.pl as such, unless some extra headers could assist in hinting to a MUA to reply in plaintext only.
David.

David,
I am clear on the Xymon-mailack. The text issue is resolved by the changing to text for the response. I am testing the delay feature. I sent a sample of the mail to you off list. IS there a way to stop the repeating background color band? It should only have the one on the left side. Is that something outlook is doing or the output from the html_mail.pl? Oh and anything on the mail message length? The full message is not sent. No link to the test page in the message.

All good!
IS there a way to stop the repeating background color band? It should only have the one on the left side. Is that something outlook is doing or the output from the html_mail.pl?
Sorry, I didn't realise the repeating background was still a problem. I misunderstood when you said you'd got it working...
The repeating background image is odd. I haven't seen that before. What version of Outlook do you use?
I just checked the HTML in the message, and the background images I am using (which I'm pretty sure are the default set) actually have an image width of 1800 pixels, so any repeat (which is actually default behaviour) should be way off to the right out of sight.
The script should be fixed to use CSS body properties rather than various properties of the BODY tag, in which case the image could possibly be made less wide, although then the background colour would have to be black rather than the status colour. Unlikely that would cause much problem in this day and age though?
Oh and anything on the mail message length? The full message is not sent. No link to the test page in the message.
I've just gone back and checked what html_mail.pl code I am using in prod vs Xymonton version - I'd added a link at the top in my current prod version, but will use CSS to do backgrounds and make background explicitly not repeat in 'x' direction...
I will create a new html_mail.pl v 1.3 tomorrow when I get time to clean it up. It would be easier if xymonton had some kind of version control then keeping it up to date would be a bit easier.
David.

The repeating background image is odd. I haven't seen that before. What version of Outlook do you use?
I just checked the HTML in the message, and the background images I am using (which I'm pretty sure are the default set) actually have an image width of 1800 pixels, so any repeat (which is actually default behaviour) should be way off to the right out of sight.
The script should be fixed to use CSS body properties rather than various properties of the BODY tag, in which case the image could possibly be made less wide, although then the background colour would have to be black rather than the status colour. Unlikely that would cause much problem in this day and age though?
Oh and anything on the mail message length? The full message is not sent. No link to the test page in the message.
I've just gone back and checked what html_mail.pl code I am using in prod vs Xymonton version - I'd added a link at the top in my current prod version, but will use CSS to do backgrounds and make background explicitly not repeat in 'x' direction...
I will create a new html_mail.pl v 1.3 tomorrow when I get time to clean it up. It would be easier if xymonton had some kind of version control then keeping it up to date would be a bit easier.

Kevin,
Thanks David,
I have it running now. I am finding that when using the email ack function these messages are not getting parsed correctly. It is not seeing the delay or and comment text.
I have never used or tested the email ack function, so not sure what it is expecting.
Quite likely xymon-mailack doesn't handle MIME messages ("This is a multi-part message" would indicate this), since there would be too many options to have to cater for.
It is possibly a side effect in your MUA (Outlook?) of receiving an html formatted alert e-mail that by default an HTML reply will be generated - can you configure your mail client to do a plain text e-mail reply? Thunderbird has this feature in the address book selectable per user.
Did it work before you tried html_mail.pl ?
I don't think it is a limitation of html_mail.pl as such, unless some extra headers could assist in hinting to a MUA to reply in plaintext only.
David.

Joe,
I got your name from the html_mail.pl script. I recently updated
to
xymon 4.3.2 and tried to go live in production.
On all alerts it seems to send out alerts to this one email
address.
it seems to send out to all that are intended to receive the emails
but the one email has only two hosts that it monitors and gets
alerts
from. now it gets emails on the entire environment.
I can't follow what the problem is.
The script gets called from the alerts.cfg file via the SCRIPT
keyword.
The hosts it applies to will be determined by the alerts.cfg file
rules.
The recipient for e-mails is specified by the RCPT environment
variable
when the script is called.
Without the old and new config to compare, I can't help any further.
I see a lot of references to BB, has this script been updated?
The environment variable names have not changed that I know of, but
I
haven't used it with 4.3.x myself yet.
Version Author Details
------- ------ -------
1.0 Martin Ward Initial version. See code for
details.
1.1 David Baldwin Clean up, remove hard-coded paths.
1.2 David Baldwin format message as alternative parts
for plaintext and HTML views
thanks for your help
I've CCed to the xymon list which is a better place to get general
help.
David.
