I'm afraid you are right !
We have also noticed that RECOVERED msgs do not get sent to GROUPs 
(using Xymon-4.3.2)

Aye, there is nothing wrong with that.


Anyway, I think this is a BUG.

Xymon Version 4.3.3.
Configuration as follows:

analysis.cfg:
HOST=myhost.mydomain.com <http://myhost.mydomain.com>; GROUP=heather
         PROC TESTtestTEST 1

(equally, you could have the GROUP entry on the PROC line, doesn't
matter in this instance as the result is the same)

alerts.cfg:
HOST=*
         MAIL user-f6063d158e7c@xymon.invalid <mailto:user-f6063d158e7c@xymon.invalid> RECOVERED

GROUP=heather
         MAIL user-498ed3e78c69@xymon.invalid <mailto:user-498ed3e78c69@xymon.invalid> RECOVERED


When the alert is generated, both e-mail addresses get the notification.
  But when the alert is cleared, only user-f6063d158e7c@xymon.invalid
<mailto:user-f6063d158e7c@xymon.invalid> gets the recovery message.

I've tried lots of different configuration options, and the only
conclusion I can come to is that recovery messages to GROUPs do not
work.  :(

NOTICE means that when you enable or disable an alert you'll get
    a msg.
I can get RECOVERED to work on HOST or MAIL or SCRIPT lines, just
    as long as
they aren't in a GROUP.

    RECOVERED and COLOR=RED on same line?

You can’t.


I’ve never used notice. What does it do?


I’ve never had any luck with recovered on anything except the

    Mail line.

The test for the alert works fine - but how do you mimic a

    "recovered"

message with the --test option?  I don't think you can.

Subject: [Xymon] GROUPs and recovery alerts


Hi,


I want to be able to group servers so that alerts for one bunch
    of servers
go to one group of people, and another group of servesr to
    another group of
people.


I used the following config -


analysis.cfg:

HOST=myhost.mydomain.com <http://myhost.mydomain.com>; GROUP=mygroup

     PROC blah

     PROC blahblah

     DISK ....etc


alerts.cfg:

GROUP=mygroup NOTICE RECOVERED COLOR=red

        MAIL user-b75305ea6ec0@xymon.invalid <mailto:user-b75305ea6ec0@xymon.invalid> REPEAT=15


Now, I tested this by stopping one of the PROCs listed, and I
    successfully
received the alert e-mail.  However, when I restarted that
    process to clear
the alert, the status goes green but I do not receive any
    recovery message.


I also tried just having the GROUP defined against each
    individual PROC
line (rather than against the HOST), but that didn't result in a
    recovery
message either.


Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?


I can provide the debug output from the alert process if required.


Cheers,

Heather
