I have 4.3.27-1.el7.terabithia running on Centos 7, and can't get any
rules in alerts.cfg.to match and fire an alert.
I have in hosts.cfg:
192.168.2.31 phone-sales # conn
In alerts.cfg:
HOST=phone-sales COLOR=red
MAIL user-81168669c6fa@xymon.invalid
## Wildcard rule
HOST=%^.*$ COLOR=red
MAIL user-81168669c6fa@xymon.invalid
Made the wildcard rule a regexp because "HOST=*" wasn't working, and
added the host-specific rule because no wildcard was working. But if I
trigger a red on host phone-sales, in alert.log I see:
Checking criteria for host 'phone-sales', which is not yet defined; some
alerts may not immediately fire
What am I missing? I retired a year and a half ago, and have been out of
practice, so feel free to start with "You dummy...."
