In the hobbit-alerts.cfg file, you could then have rules like
GROUP=web
MAIL user-b7c20e0da76a@xymon.invalid
GROUP=admins
MAIL user-04caac0eb454@xymon.invalid
The above notes in hobbit-clients.cfg explain for httpd process less than
5,
send alert to web(user-401205b5bf4b@xymon.invalid).
But I don't know what is the correct syntax to specify more than one
recepients ?
is it "GROUP=web,web2,web3"
GROUP is a criterium, i.e. a way to select which alerts apply
to this rule.
MAIL is an action - what happens when the criterium is matched.
So "GROUP=web,web2" would match any definition in
hobbit-clients.cfg which had a "GROUP=web" or "GROUP=web2"
tag assosiated.
If what you want is to send the alerts to several people, then
you put those on the MAIL line. Like
GROUP=web
MAIL user-d083d77d33f5@xymon.invalid,user-dd634354da20@xymon.invalid
in my case I have
GROUP=data-team-email
user-9f0ca6536afa@xymon.invalid
GROUP=data-team-page
user-9744b1596e56@xymon.invalid
so for some data partitions
I need them to be alerted by both email and pager.
So I should configure my hobbit-client.cfg
as
HOST=dataserver.work.com
/export 95 99 GROUP=data-team-email,data-team-page
Thanks for the clarification,
