 With this hobbit naming issue coming up it looks like I asked a question

This may be much easier… could somebody cut'n'paste part of their
hobbit-alerts.cfg here that uses email for alerts.  If you have some with
subpages that would be most excellent.


Thanks and everyone have a great weekend!

I just cannot figure how to set up alerts.


Maybe I can save you lots of reading… All I am trying to do at this time I
am just looking to set up basic paging to an email (list) address.


I will want to break it down to subpages for fabric servers, DB servers,
web servers and weblogic server.


But… here is what I am working with now.  For now I have, or so I thought,
narrowed it down to the most basic of configuration and still cannot get it
to work.


hobbit-alerts.cfg (added to the bottom of the file).


HOST=*

        MAIL root at localhost     SERVICE=conn    color=yellow

        MAIL root at localhost     SERVICE=cONN    color=red

        MAIL root at localhost     SERVICE=conn    color=purple


When I run bbcmd with just --test I get the following:


[root at tstfabric121 etc]# ../bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test
tstfabric121.ce.fedex.com procs

With --debug too I get this:


[root at tstfabric121 etc]# ../bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test --debug

Now the host, tstfabric121.ce.fedex.com, is in the bb-host file.  And, in
fact, is the hobbit server.


Also, so long as I am burning bandwidth, I am not understanding how the
page/subpage work into this?  I do have subpage's set up in my bb-hosts
file.


Thanks.
