and I define alerts for all three pages, the alert only works for page
"linux" and page "redhat". The host on page "mail" is being ignored.
This is a different problem. Each host has a "primary" page - only one!
It's the first page that defines it (that would be "linux"), except if
you use the "prefer" keyword then it is of course the page that has the
preferred definition of the host ("redhat", in your example). If you're
unsure of what page Hobbit uses as the primary page, then check it on
the "info" status page.
Yes, I know. I wrote, that this is only a workaround for the missing
alert. When I leave out the "prefer" statement in the above example, the
alert only works for the host on the "linux" page.
I tested my configuration with the (patched) hobbitd_alert program:
$ bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test my.mail.host --color=red disk
Matching host:service:page 'my.mail.host:--color=red:linux'
*** Match with 'PAGE=linux' ***
Matching host:service:page 'my.mail.host:--color=red:linux'
Failed 'PAGE=mail' (pagename not in include list)
When I add the "prefer" option to the host on the mail page, I get
Matching host:service:page 'my.mail.host:--color=red:mail
Failed 'PAGE=linux' (pagename not in include list)
Matching host:service:page 'my.mail.host:--color=red:mail
*** Match with 'PAGE=mail' ***
So, what can I do to get the alert function working for BOTH pages?
