I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit.
Any Ideas?

Yes here is the relevant line in my hobbit-alerts.cfg
The hobbit-alerts.cfg file controls who receives alerts
when a status in the BB system goes into a critical
state (usually: red, yellow or purple).
This file is made up from RULES and RECIPIENTS.
A RULE is a filter made from the PAGE where a host
is located in BB; the HOST name, the SERVICE name,
the COLOR of the status, the TIME of day, and the
DURATION of the event.
A RECIPIENT can be a MAIL address, or a SCRIPT.
Recipients can also have rules associated with them,
that modify the rules for a single recipient, e.g.
you can define a rule for alerting, then add an
extra criteria e.g. so a single recipient does not get
alerted until after 20 minutes.
A sample rule:
HOST=* Color=red MAIL kdoyle (at) peak5.com FORMAT=TEXT COLOR=RED REPEAT=20 RECOVERED
MAIL cio at foo.com DURATION>60 COLOR=red
SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsms 1234567890 FORMAT=SMS

I just looked at an email in the sendmail queue and there is subject only - no body. Where do I look in Hobbit to see what message is being generated? Perhaps it is not even logging the message and only the subjects?

From what I understand you're trying to get some details in the email alert, correct?
To be honest I don't really use the email alerts. I have SMS messages for the serious stuff, but I use it as a notification and just look at the web pages. I use the WML and HTML pages on my phone and computer after the notification.

A RULE is a filter made from the PAGE where a host

the COLOR of the status, the TIME of day, and the
DURATION of the event.
A RECIPIENT can be a MAIL address, or a SCRIPT.
Recipients can also have rules associated with them,
that modify the rules for a single recipient, e.g.
you can define a rule for alerting, then add an
extra criteria e.g. so a single recipient does not get
alerted until after 20 minutes.
A sample rule:
HOST=* Color=red

I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit.
Any Ideas?

Ok, after some trial and error, I figured this out. Hobbit will only get the full message from the client if you are using FQDN in bb-hosts and have the check box on the client checked.
Now is there a way to change the http link that is sent out in the message? My server uses https rather than http.

Sure thing... this may be documented but I found it so quickly I hadn't even gone ot the man pages yet! :-)
Here is the relevant section of hobbitserver.cfg
Originally BBWEBHOST had http://$BBSERVERWWWNAME <http://$bbserverwwwname/> I changed it to https:// and the emails had the correct link.
Specific to this host
BBOSTYPE="$BBSERVEROS" # Hosttype (operating system). Not used by server-side, but clients use this.
MACHINEDOTS="$BBSERVERHOSTNAME" # This systems hostname
MACHINEADDR="$BBSERVERIP" # This systems IP-address
URL's generated/used by bbgen
BBWEBHOST="https://$BBSERVERWWWNAME" # Just the host part of the URL - http://www.foo.com
BBWEBHOSTURL="$BBWEBHOST$BBSERVERWWWURL" # Prefix for all static Hobbit pages - http://www.foo.com/bb
BBWEBHTMLLOGS="$BBWEBHOSTURL/html" # Prefix for the Hobbit HTML logs (only if BBLOGSTATUS=STATIC)

Ok, after some trial and error, I figured this out. Hobbit will only get the full message from the client if you are using FQDN in bb-hosts and have the check box on the client checked.
Now is there a way to change the http link that is sent out in the message? My server uses https rather than http.

Subject: Hobbit Emails empty
I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I amrunning Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit.
Any Ideas?

As I said above I don't know what the alerts send me as far as a body. Could you outline what needs done for the content to be included in the alerts? You need to have FQDNs and what checked?
Thanks for the above post!
