And thanks, too, to you Steve. I'd been anchoring things that way but
wondering to myself why I was doing it (or if I'd just misunderstood an
example).

Thanks to Rob and Martha. Who would have thought that 'fprnts' would
match 'PRNT' ? Changing 'PRNT' in the regex to '^PRNT' fixed the
problem. I may anchor all of the expressions that way to prevent future
similar problems.
Thanks again,
Steve

Steve,
It sounds like you want the bbcmd to test the alerts file. Its
documented
in http:/.../xymon/help/hobbit-alerts.html. It allows you to do a test
run through your hobbit-alerts.cfg file and find all the places that
might
trigger an alert based on given criteria such as the hostname and test
(i.e. cpu, disk, etc.). It can also test yellow alerts as well as red.
The hobbitd_alert man page also contains more detailed information.
./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test osiris.hswn.dk
<http://osiris.hswn.dk>; cpu
I have found this to be invaluable as our alerts file has grown. Hope
it helps.

picked up to
be alerted for a specific host?
I.e. (on Xymon 4.2.3) I have 2 recipients for all tests on a pair
of hosts
and there should be only one. They are windows application servers
and both
the app admins and unix admins are getting the alerts. The info
pages for
both hosts on that page show both groups as recipients. I've
scoured the
hobbit-alerts.cfg file and I can NOT see any way the unix admin
group should
be included as a recipient for either of the hosts on the page in
question,
nor for either of the individual hosts.
What I'm looking for is a tool that will read the hobbit-alerts.cfg
file and
take args like a host name and recipient, and return an explanation
of how
the results are compiled, in particular, which config line or lines
would
result in a specific recipient being included. I know this is highly
unlikely to exist, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks!
