Can Alerts Be Configured Based on Page-->Group?
Is there a way to configure alerts based on membership in a group on a page? There is a page qualifier, but we would like to apply specific rules for servers in particular groups on pages. If not, is there a way to apply rules to particular hosts on a page?
**Please apply a generous amount of all the usual disclaimers here.**
A messy way is to IGNORE the hosts you don't want. If possible use the % and wild cards.

Thank-you for the suggestion. So then you are thinking about multiple rules for each PAGE with specific IGNOREs for each group?
PAGE Groups IGNORE HOST="%(regex excluding servers in groups B & C) MAIL $GROUPATEAM PAGE Groups IGNORE HOST="%(regex excluding servers in groups A & C) MAIL $GROUPBTEAM PAGE Groups IGNORE HOST="%(regex excluding servers in groups A & B) MAIL $GROUPCTEAM

Hi Stuart, Yes that is one way you can do it. Just got to work and looked up the man page for Xymon 4.3.5 and you can also alert on DISPLAYGROUP
Extract
DISPLAYGROUP=groupstring Rule matching an alert by the text of the display-group (text following the group, group-only, group-except heading) in the hosts.cfg file. "groupstring" is the text for the group, stripped of any HTML tags. E.g. if you have this setup:
group Web 10.0.0.1 www1.foo.com 10.0.0.2 www2.foo.com group Production databases 10.0.1.1 db1.foo.com
Then the hosts in the Web-group can be matched with DISPLAYGROUP=Web, and the database servers can be matched with DISPLAYGROUP="Production databases". Note that you can also use regular expressions, e.g. DISPLAYGROUP=%database. If there is no group-setting for the host, use "DISPLAYGROUP=NONE".

There is, but you must upgrade to 4.3.5 for it - the "DISPLAYGROUP" setting does that.
