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 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 RECOVERED

GROUP=heather
        MAIL 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 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.

Have you tried using the test program to see how it acts for the
failure?

Yeah, I tried that too. No joy.

I generally put the RECOVERED on the mail line.

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 GROUP=mygroup

     PROC blah

     PROC blahblah

     DISK ....etc


alerts.cfg:

GROUP=mygroup NOTICE RECOVERED COLOR=red

        MAIL 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
