$ hobbitd_alert --dump-config shows
HOST=%(.*) SERVICE=apt COLOR=red
MAIL user-117fbc761302@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=1440
But I am receiving the same alert every 30 mins (default) with same alert code.
The info column says Repeat is 1d for service apt.
Could you check the notifications.log file for some of the
extra alerts you receive ? It looks like this:
Thu Jul 1 07:07:00 2010 osiris.hswn.dk.cpu (0.0.0.0) user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid[121] 1277960820 200
Thu Jul 1 07:46:05 2010 dali.hswn.dk.cpu (172.16.10.4) user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid[121] 1277963165 200
The number in the square brackets is the line in your hobbit-alerts.cfg
that generates the alert.
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
:-))
