Is setting high importance on alert emails possible?
Hey all, I doubt I can do this but maybe someone knows a trick...
I'd like to be able to send email alerts with a high importance flag based on the alert color and/or specific server or service that is down.
Is there any way to do this? I've scoured the man pages but can't find anything.
Thanks, Dan

I think if it's available with the command Henrik made it would have been documented. If not documented, I'd count on it not existing.
What you'll probably need to do is call upon your own script to send the email and you can change that with whatever mail command you use.

There's an email header that needs to be inserted. Here's an example:
http://techonthenet.com/unix/high_priority.php
You'll need to change your alert config to use SCRIPT instead of MAIL, then write a script to pick up the relevant info from the environment variables listed in the xymon-alerts help page. You don't need to write everything to a file, just use a big echo statement and pipe it through sendmail. The blank line between the headers and the message body is important...

I'm a noob at this so I'm not familiar with how to format a script. Can you point me to a good page where I can see some examples?

I haven't tested it, but something like this ought to do it:

Can anyone tell me why this does not change the status on a "recovered" email? It sends the recovered email and says the test is OK (up), but does not change the subject line.

Maybe you are sending a recovered notice on Yellow instead of green?

There's an email header that needs to be inserted. Here's an example:
http://techonthenet.com/unix/high_priority.php
You'll need to change your alert config to use SCRIPT instead of MAIL, then write a script to pick up the relevant info from the environment variables listed in the xymon-alerts help page. You don't need to write everything to a file, just use a big echo statement and pipe it through sendmail. The blank line between the headers and the message body is important...

What you'll probably need to do is call upon your own script to send the email and you can change that with whatever mail command you use.

Then it would change the subject to WARNING, but it sends with a CRITICAL status on the recovery.

OK, going out on a limb here (I've never used paging...) maybe BBCOLORLEVEL is "red" because that's the color the service just recovered FROM?? The xymon-alerts man page includes this line in the list of enviroment variables passed to the script:
RECOVERED Is "1" if the service has recovered.So, the script would become:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$RECOVERED" -eq 1 ]; then STATUS="RECOVERED" else case $BBCOLORLEVEL in red) STATUS="CRITICAL" ;; yellow) STATUS="WARNING" ;; purple) STATUS="stopped reporting" ;; *) STATUS="unknown status" ;; esac fi
MESSAGE="To: $RCPT Subject: $BBHOSTNAME $STATUS Content-Type: text/plain X-Priority: 1 (Highest) X-MSMail-Priority: High
$BBALPHAMSG"

You might even want to consider changing the Subject line to include the service name:
