We've got the monitoring up just fine and the alerts happen when stuff
goes down, but I don't receive any emails. The only thing in my
hobbit-alerts.cfg is this:
HOST=*
MAIL user-232907531bb9@xymon.invalid
What could I be missing?
This looks fine, but have you checked that your Hobbit server is capable
of sending mail at all ?
Try running the command
bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test YOURHOSTNAME conn
You should see something like
2007-03-13 22:06:19 *** Match with 'MAIL user-232907531bb9@xymon.invalid SERVICE=conn ***
2007-03-13 22:06:19 Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit [12345] myhost:conn CRITICAL (RED)" user-232907531bb9@xymon.invalid'
That command inside the quotes is the command used to send mail. Check
that this works on your system, e.g. your mail configuration might not
have a smarthost defined so all mail gets delivered locally.
