Hello,

This is how my hobbit-client.cfg and hobbit-alerts.cfg look and I would like to send the first LOG to some users and the second LOG to different users.

How do I send an alert based on a warning expression?

Hobbit-client.cfg

HOST=myhost.org

LOG /var/log/messages %failure*|%failed*|%error*|%Warning* COLOR=red

LOG /var/log/www_server_4881.log %exceeded* COLOR=red

Hobbit-alerts.cfg

HOST=myhost.org

      MAIL user at something.org SERVICE=msgs REPEAT=30m COLOR=red

RECOVERED

Any help, suggestion will be appreciated

Thanks,

You might experiment with the GROUP= directive, see documentation for it in the hobbit-clients.cfg and hobbit-alerts.cfg man pages.

Maybe something like:

Hobbit-client.cfg

HOST=myhost.org

  LOG /var/log/messages %failure*|%failed*|%error*|%Warning*

COLOR=red GROUP=mypeople

  LOG /var/log/www_server_4881.log %exceeded* COLOR=red

GROUP=yourpeople

Hobbit-alerts.cfg

HOST=myhost.org

  MAIL user at something.org GROUP=mypeople SERVICE=msgs REPEAT=30m

COLOR=red RECOVERED MAIL user at something.org GROUP=yourpeople SERVICE=msgs REPEAT=30m COLOR=red RECOVERED

Hope this helps. -Alan
