I have email macros configured thusly:
$pg-rich=%user-cf452ff334e0@xymon.invalid
$pg-tom=%(user-30873c35cd66@xymon.invalid|user-c636915e0afe@xymon.invalid)
In other words, Rich can be reached at a single email address, Tom with two addresses.
The notification is set up like this:
HOST=%(vse*|vm*) DURATION>5m
MAIL $pg-tom
MAIL $pg-rich
So if any test on a host beginning with vse or vm fails, both Tom and Rich will get a page after 5 minutes.
When I test the process, I get the following:
hobbit at hobbit1:~/server/bin> ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test vm2 conn
2005-05-31 14:00:10 Using default environment file /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 send_alert vm2:conn state Paging
00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Matching host:service:page 'vm2:conn:' against rule line 145
00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Failed 'HOST=%(vse*|vm*) DURATION>5m' (min. duration 0<300)
This is certainly not what I expected. If I remove the DURATION value from the notification, I get:
hobbit at hobbit1:~/server/bin> ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test vm2 conn
2005-05-31 14:07:04 Using default environment file /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

Is this correct? Do the macros get expanded when the emails are generated?
Thanks.
