Hi Becki,

I have not played with alerts yet, that's in my list of things to do, but I did have the following link stored away: [ http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-alerts.html ]http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-alerts.html

and, more importantly for you, the following text:

If you want to test how your alert configuration handles a specific host, you can run hobbitd_alert in test mode - you give it a hostname and servicename as input, and it will go through the configuration and tell you which rules match and who gets an alert.

osiris:~ $ cd server/
osiris:~/server $ ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test

osiris.hswn.dk cpu Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule line 109:Matched *** Match with 'HOST=*' *** Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule line 110:Matched *** Match with 'MAIL henrik at sample.com REPEAT=2 RECOVERED COLOR=red'

Mail alert with command 'mail -s "BB [12345] osiris.hswn.dk:cpu

is RED" [ mailto:henrik at sample.com' ]henrik at sample.com'

This may help you diagnose the problem.

Good luck,
