And here's the alert I just received:
im68:cpu yellow [-1]
yellow Mon Feb 14 13:13:56 PST 2005 up: 208 day(s), 1
users, 115 procs, load=529
The alert you show here looks like a recovery-notice (the "-1" I
assume is the acknowledgment cookie, and this value indicates that
there is no active alert).
Argh. That's bitten me before. I have to figure out how to get the actual word 'recovered' in there to make it easier to understand at 4am.
Could you check the following in hobbitlaunch.cfg:
* The "hobbitd" command has "--alertcolors=red,purple
--okcolors=green"
* The "hobbitd_alert" command has "--alertcolors=red,purple"
This setup should give you alerts when a status is red (or purple),
and recovery notices only when they go green (after being red or
purple).
Hmm. I didn't have --okcolors=green, so I added that to the hobbitd command.
Just to clarify about the hobbitd_alert command, that's in the bbpage module, correct? I didn't have --alertcolors there, but I've just added it:
[bbpage]
ENVFILE /opt/bb/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=page --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/page.log hobbitd_alert --alertcolors=red,purple
Thanks for your assistance.
