Hmmm, makes sense.

OK, then does anybody know if there a workaround for this?

I want an e-mail on any colour fail, and an e-mail on recovery. On a condition red, I want an SMS, and an SMS on recovery from a red.

Regards Vernon

Vernon,

My guess would be the "COLOR=red" token in the rule. When a recovery comes in the color isn't red, therefore no match.

Regards, Jim

Hi all

Can anybody tell me if there is a specific order required for the entries in hobbit-alert.cfg? For instance, this line MAIL 55512345 at messagenet.com.au <mailto:0 at messagenet.com.au> FORMAT=SMS REPEAT=180 DURATION>5 COLOR=red RECOVERED alerts me to the issue, but I don't get a recovered SMS.

I know Hobbit is configured correctly, because this line MAIL v.everett at afgonline.com.au <mailto:v.everett at afgonline.com.au> RECOVERED REPEAT=480 mails me the recovered notice.

Cheers Vernon
