I'm sure HOST= in the alert config will need to match case of bb-hosts.

I've used all lowercase for everything.

Hi Guys

I found a problem. My host names are all in uppercase(in BBhost, hobbit-client.cfg etc)i.e. DATASERVER1. When I use the uppercase version in the alerting section it does not match the name as the alerting looks for all lowercase i.e. dataserver1 ? Anybody run into this problem before?

Regards Neil

Hi Guys

If I wanted to make sure a person only got mails on disk,conn and raid columns when they change status(ie any colour) would the following line work? HOST=PRMSBISQl01 SERVICE=conn,disk,raid MAIL jsoap at nowhere.co.za REPEAT=480 RECOVERED

Yeah I thought as much however I ran the ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test hostname cpu test it did not match a rule. It reported the host name in lower case and in BBHosts the host was in Upper case. I fixed it with the following regular expression Host=%HOST|host. Strange one but not a train smash.

Case is important! However, I have found that as long as the case in the bb-hosts file matches the case in the "HOST=" parameter in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file, there is not a problem. I monitor 555 hosts total. All my windows hosts (~200) are all uppercase. All my unix/linux hosts (~50) are all lower case. My network devices (~300) are mixed upper and lower case.
