Hi,

So I installed RC2 this morning. Later on, I noticed an alert email for a monitor going into yellow. I had disabled this previously with --alertcolors=red,purple in hobbitlaunch.cfg. Here's the snippet:

[hobbitd] HEARTBEAT ENVFILE /opt/bb/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg CMD hobbitd --restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbit d.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --purple-conn=conn --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.l og --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$BBSERVERIP --alertcolors=red,purple

And here's the alert I just received:

im68:cpu yellow [-1] yellow Mon Feb 14 13:13:56 PST 2005 up: 208 day(s), 1 users, 115 procs, load=529

What do you get when you run the following test as hobbit user?

cd ~hobbit/server ./bin/bbcmd --test <FQDN of im68> cpu

LOAD AVG on im68 is 529

Any ideas?

[config from another mail]

And here's the alert I just received:

The alert you show here looks like a recovery-notice (the "-1" I assume is the acknowledgment cookie, and this value indicates that there is no active alert).

If you look in the ~/data/ack/notifications.log file for these notifications, you can tell if it's an alert message or a recovery message by the number of columns in the file. E.g. in my log I have

Wed Feb 16 13:08:43 2005 www.sslug.dk.smtp (130.228.2.150) henrik at hswn.dk 1108555723 725 Wed Feb 16 13:09:44 2005 www.sslug.dk.smtp (130.228.2.150)henrik at hswn.dk 1108555784 725 61

The first one is the alert message, the second is the recovery message. The recovery has an extra field "61", which is the duration of the event (in seconds).

Could you check the following in hobbitlaunch.cfg:

• The "hobbitd" command has "--alertcolors=red,purple --okcolors=green"
• The "hobbitd_alert" command has "--alertcolors=red,purple"

This setup should give you alerts when a status is red (or purple), and recovery notices only when they go green (after being red or purple).
