Hi
We had a similar situation, where a junior operator could fix the issue,
but need a join-the-dots guide.
We used the script feature in the alerts.cfg (OK, it was hobbit-alerts back
then, but you get the idea.)
When the alert was triggered, it ran a script, which used a few pre-defined
and Xymon variables to craft an email explaining what should be done. This
was then sent to the operators' inbox using your favourite CLI mail client.
Hope it helps.
Cheers
Vernon

Is there any way to provide a simple list of “how-to”s for a given server
within Xymon? For instance I have a process that over time eats up memory
so needs to be restarted. It would be useful to have a piece of text saying
something like “If memory gets full over time then restart this process” in
the Memory page for this server. I realise I could have an auto-restart
script but I am chary of those because of the potential for it continually
restarting a daemon due to memory usage if, for some reason, that daemon is
not the actual cause of the memory problem.****

I know about the DESCR: and COMMENTS: options in hosts.cfg but they for
short amounts of text on a page with lots of hosts. Is there anywhere that
I can link or show more information, hints and tips, contact information
and such like information for each server?****
