HI Larry. Thanks for the tips. I've modified it and actually found an error on the email address in the alerts.cfg file.

In the macro definition, there was a double @domain.com – eg where it said html_mail.pl srm_infrastructure at domain.com<mailto:srm_infrastructure at domain.com>@domain.com

That must have got stuck on there when I was editing the file with nano and doing some cut/paste operations.

In any case, I'm getting all kinds of email now.

Regards,

Don K

You need to specify a 'GROUP' in your alerts.cfg stanza:

#Rule and Recipient for all host cpu disk mem proc alerts GROUP=SRMINFRA SERVICE=cpu,disk,mem,proc TIME=W:0800:1600 RECOVERED $SRMINFRA

I'm also not too sure that giving the macro and the group the same name is such a good idea.

Thanks, Larry Barber

I started to try and clean up alerting and emails in our environment from xymon.

I just want to get email alerts for CPU, Mem, and Disk from any host we have and send it to a single email group, but am not getting any emails even though the hosts are showing red alerts on the xymon web pages.

Here is what I put in analysis.cfg

host=* TIME:W:0800:1600

#Setting for this rule is the value to watch LOAD PROC CPU DISK etc DISK * 90 95 GROUP=SRMINFRA LOAD 8.0 12.0 GROUP=SRMINFRA PROC cron GROUP=SRMINFRA

DEFAULT # These are the built-in defaults. UP 1h LOAD 5.0 10.0 GROUP=SRMINFRA DISK * 90 95 GROUP=SRMINFRA MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 50 80 MEMACT 90 97

Here is what I put in alerts.cfg #Macro definition $SRMINFRA=SCRIPT /home/xymon/server/ext/html_mail.pl<http://html_mail.pl> srm_infrastructure at domain.com<mailto:srm_infrastructure at domain.com> FORMAT=TEXT

#Rule and Recipient for all host cpu disk mem proc alerts SERVICE=cpu,disk,mem,proc TIME=W:0800:1600 RECOVERED $SRMINFRA

Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks
