Xymon alerting on acknowledged events
Hi all,
Our xymon server seems to disobey acknowledged events and still alert anyway. If we mark it blue to disable the service it will stop alerting us. We've seen this behavior before a long time ago and the fix was possibly a missing directory or something to that effect but we cannot seem to find it on Google nor locate it in our notes / ticketing system. Too much noise in there from the word "xymon".
Any hints?
Thanks
What version of Xymon? I've noticed this behavior in my 4.3.17. It didn't matter how long I set the acknowledge, within 2 cycles it would reset without a clear in between.

As far as I can tell these are the only two changes in quite some time to the alerts
http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7424/tree//trunk/xymond/xymond_alert.c?d... http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7424/tree//trunk/lib/loadalerts.c?diff=5...
I will consider rolling them back to see what happens.

Those commits are to trunk, not the 4.3 branch. The most recent change in the 4.3 branch to loadalerts.c is r7359: http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7359/ And was released in 4.3.14. A further change was made in 4.3.15 to do_alert.c: http://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7380/
For what it is worth (and despite my colleague claiming it does not seem to work) acknowledging events *does* work properly in 4.3.7 and I can use e.g. Delay=150 to acknowledge it for two and a half hours and get the next alert 2.5 hours later (tested today).
Kind regards,
SebA
