Alert mails with the Ack-Code

Unfortunately, that is burned into hobbitd/do_alert.c as fixed and
unconditional.  You'd either have to modify the source and rebuild, or
use a SCRIPT to get what your want (and the latter is probably an easier
solution).

Hi Henrik

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, this is the default, and is set that way on our server.
However, looking at my post again, I realise I did not adequately clarify what I was looking for.

When an alert goes out in an email, the subject is normally something like this
	Hobbit [70385] hostname:testname CRITICAL (RED) We want to be rid of the ACK-CODE in the subject, so we end up with something like this
	Hobbit hostname:testname CRITICAL (RED)
(I am assuming that is the ACK-CODE?)

I know I can simply parse or recreate the alerts using a custom script, but I was hoping for something a little more elegant, and hopefully simpler.

Is there an easy way to send alerts without the ACK-CODE?
By "easy", I mean not hacking the source code, and not redirecting all mail= s through a custom script.
    

Um, yes - the bb-ack webpage does that, if you add "--no-pin" to CGI_ACK_OPTS in hobbitcgi.cfg.

But I think that's the default already.
