paging setup

Well, that hasn't worked. the new server test did go green and I waited
for a few polling intervals, then I downed the interface and it did
indeed go red.. all ok so far...but never have I received a page!
strange... For the time being, my live BB server handles all alerts
until I can get this sorted out. I have the bbrelay option set so I can
still test hobbit...

I set one up the same way you did, and I didn't get paged.  I think maybe it
has to be green first, then go to red to send a page.

Try this.  Create a virtual IP (using ifconfig) corresponding to the IP you
gave testserver03 in your bb-hosts file.  Let the conn icon go green.  Wait

3 or 4 minutes.  Remove (or change) the virtual IP.  > > That's how I've been testing notification.

Greetings,
Here's the setup, trying to test Hobbit as a replacement for the main BB
server. As a simple test, I have created a bb-hosts entry for a
non-existing server with the following rule in the hobbit-alerts.cfg:
HOST=testserver03.domain.com SERVICE=conn

	MAIL user-e63f4e3fcb43@xymon.invalid REPEAT=10 RECOVERED

Thats it...The conn icon on the Hobbit status page is red, but I never
receive a page to my email address.
Any idea?
Also, posted a question earlier about mail groupings, if I have more
than one recipient, are the comma separated or does that require a new

MAIL line per recipient?

I.E. will MAIL  user-29ad0d065d6a@xymon.invalid user-1c05f9bd9f76@xymon.invalid user-236b064986cc@xymon.invalid REPEAT=10

RECOVERED work?

Regards,

Rick
