Hello all,
I hope that someone might be able to help me here.
I have Hobbit server 4.2.0 installed on a Pc running Ubuntu 8. The server is configured to monitor a couple of test servers (one internal, and one external). Everything seems to function fine except for the alerts.
My /etc/hobbit/hobbit-alerts.cfg file has the following lines:
HOST=bimload1 SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory,procs,conn
SCRIPT /usr/bin/sendalerts.pl n8
MAIL user-7a4fc2b9b009@xymon.invalid
When I try to test this using: ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test bimload1 cpu I get the following:
2008-06-26 08:34:07 Using default environment file /usr/lib/hobbit/ client/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

But when I check my mail logs and syslogs and hobbit logs it looks like the sendalert.pl script never fires off, and the email is never sent. I can send email using mailx from the command line and i can run the sendalert.pl script form the command line, and both produce the expected results. I have even sent the permissions for the sendalrt.pl script to be 777 (yes this is a security risk but for now I just wanted to make sure it was not a permissions issue). Why is the script not running not the email being sent via hobbit-alert? Am I missing anything? I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter
Thank you,
