Thinking about it I am using the Windows BB client too!  It is on one server
that I normally just cuss and disable the tests for, but it is reporting =)

excellent job with "backwards" compatibility.

 I don't think hobbit plays well with the BB windows client (I don't recal
where I saw this).  Have you tried putting BBWin on one of the servers to
see if that gives you any output?

Kevin,

Try this:

HOST=*

     MAIL user-6992f04dde2b@xymon.invalid COLOR=RED REPEAT=20 RECOVERED

Yes here is the relevant line in my hobbit-alerts.cfg


#

# The hobbit-alerts.cfg file controls who receives alerts

# when a status in the BB system goes into a critical

# state (usually: red, yellow or purple).

#

# This file is made up from RULES and RECIPIENTS.

#

# A RULE is a filter made from the PAGE where a host

# is located in BB; the HOST name, the SERVICE name,

# the COLOR of the status, the TIME of day, and the

# DURATION of the event.

#

# A RECIPIENT can be a MAIL address, or a SCRIPT.

#

# Recipients can also have rules associated with them,

# that modify the rules for a single recipient, e.g.

# you can define a rule for alerting, then add an

# extra criteria e.g. so a single recipient does not get

# alerted until after 20 minutes.

#

# A sample rule:


HOST=* Color=red

     MAIL user-6992f04dde2b@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT COLOR=RED REPEAT=20 RECOVERED


#      MAIL user-d0a7de99275f@xymon.invalid DURATION>60 COLOR=red

#      SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsms 1234567890 FORMAT=SMS


Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg please?

I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running Hobbit
4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except alerting.
When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject and no body. I
expected to get some information about the alert and the link to the
monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly simple but I am
new to Linux and Hobbit.


Any Ideas?
