Why IGNORE HOST and EXHOST work differently with UNMATCHED?
Hi Henrik and others who help to develop this invaluable piece of software, Xymon!
I've been used BB more than 15 years for now and now trying to migrate to Xymon because it seems more flexible and powerful to me. Now I'm in the middle of converting my existing (fairly complex) bbwarnrules to alerts.cfg
Everything works great except some strange to me cases with UNMATCHED.
For example, if you look at these two configurations - they seem similar to human eye:
1: using IGNORE
HOST=* IGNORE HOST=somehost MAIL admin at domain.com
HOST=* MAIL supervisor at domain.com UNMATCHED
2: using EX...
HOST=* EXHOST=somehost MAIL admin at domain.com
HOST=* MAIL supervisor at domain.com UNMATCHED
However, the first (IGNORE HOST) construction does NOT send alert to supervisor at admin.com in case of somehost alert, as expected.
Is it bug or is there some explanation for this behavior?
With kindest regards, Märt
