I'm finally trying to get alerts working with hobbit (RC5, no post
patches, Linux 2.6.8.1-24mdksmp i686). I'm getting paged on yellow.
First check if those are alert-messages or recovery messages. In
~hobbit/data/acks/notifications.log you should see log entries for
the messages you receive, like these:
Tue Mar 15 09:50:34 2005 backup-mx.post.tele.dk.smtp (195.41.53.68) user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid 1110876634 725
Tue Mar 15 10:05:37 2005 backup-mx.post.tele.dk.smtp (195.41.53.68) user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid 1110877537 725
Tue Mar 15 10:10:41 2005 backup-mx.post.tele.dk.smtp (195.41.53.68) user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid 1110877840 725 4220
The first two are alerts, the last one is a recovery message (you can
see that by the extra number "4220" which is how long the service was
down).
RC5 has a known bug in the alert module, where it will send recovery
messages even if you never received an alert message.
Here are the hobbitlaunch.cfg parameters:
Looks OK
and the paging rules:
HOST=ae-urps.aenetad.net
MAIL=user-290ce4e24e19@xymon.invalid,user-24a930c5e365@xymon.invalid REPEAT=24h RECOVERED
HOST=%.*ups.*.austin-energy.net
MAIL=user-290ce4e24e19@xymon.invalid REPEAT=2h DURATION>10m SERVICE=freq COLOR="red" RECOVERED
MAIL=user-290ce4e24e19@xymon.invalid REPEAT=2h SERVICE=upsmin,upssec COLOR="red" RECOVERED
HOST=%.*probe.*.austin-energy.net
MAIL=user-290ce4e24e19@xymon.invalid REPEAT=24h DURATION>20m COLOR="red" RECOVERED
HOST=%.
MAIL=user-290ce4e24e19@xymon.invalid REPEAT=140h DURATION>30m RECOVERED COLOR="red" UNMATCED
I suspect your yellow alerts are recovery messages, and hence this is
the known bug in RC5.
BTW, the "UNMATCED" in your last rule must be a typo ...
