I could use some help with the syntax for alert using macros. I tried
defining servers as such:
$GROUP1=server1 server2 server3
$SYSADMIN=user-490a14721d84@xymon.invalid
HOST=$GROUP1
MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red REPEAT=15m RECOVERED
This is wrong.
When you use macros, you must remember that it's purely a text substitution.
If you did not use macros, you'd write the rule as
HOST=%server1|server2|server3
So to do that with a macro, the macro must be defined exactly like that.
Thus:
$GROUP1=%server1|server2|server3
$SYSADMIN=user-490a14721d84@xymon.invalid
HOST=$GROUP1
MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red REPEAT=15m RECOVERED
