From what I understand you're trying to get some details in the email alert,
correct?
To be honest I don't really use the email alerts. I have SMS messages for
the serious stuff, but I use it as a notification and just look at the web
pages. I use the WML and HTML pages on my phone and computer after the
notification.

I just looked at an email in the sendmail queue and there is subject only

Perhaps it is not even logging the message and only the subjects?

Kevin,
I delete the mail notices from Hobbit so I can't say how it should look,
but here is what I am using:
HOST=*
MAIL user-3522411d9c2e@xymon.invalid COLOR=RED DURATION>15m REPEAT=60 RECOVERED

Yes here is the relevant line in my hobbit-alerts.cfg

# The hobbit-alerts.cfg file controls who receives alerts

#
# This file is made up from RULES and RECIPIENTS.

# A RULE is a filter made from the PAGE where a host

# the COLOR of the status, the TIME of day, and the
# DURATION of the event.
#
# A RECIPIENT can be a MAIL address, or a SCRIPT.

# Recipients can also have rules associated with them,
# that modify the rules for a single recipient, e.g.
# you can define a rule for alerting, then add an

#
# A sample rule:
HOST=* Color=red
MAIL user-6992f04dde2b@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT COLOR=RED REPEAT=20 RECOVERED
# MAIL user-d0a7de99275f@xymon.invalid DURATION>60 COLOR=red
# SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsms 1234567890 FORMAT=SMS
Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg please?

*Subject:* Hobbit Emails empty
I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running Hobbit
4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except alerting.
When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject and no body. I
expected to get some information about the alert and the link to the
monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly simple but I am
new to Linux and Hobbit.
Any Ideas?
