GROUPs and recovery alerts

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?

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****
