Hi Henrik,

This was a very downsized version. I have about 150 hosts I am monitoring
right now with extensive alerting. It's only the PAGE= alerting parameter
that is not working. I changed it to use HOST= today and it is working fine
but is obviously not the best way to do it.

With the HOST=, the testing command I used with --color=red after, actually
worked. It only didn't work with the PAGE=. Even in the notifications.log,
it showed sending alerts to only individuals *not* in the PAGE= alerting
items (i.e. using HOST= alerting options).

Thanks.

I have a problem where Hobbit is not properly sending alerts based on
the
PAGE criteria. When I look at the info button for TESTHOST and
TESTHOST1, it
*DOES* shows an alert to user-ba585fe8ccf7@xymon.invalid. When I run the test 'bbcmd
hobbitd_alert --test TESTHOST --color=red' or 'bbcmd hobbitd_alert
--test
TESTHOST --color=red' it *DOESN'T' show that it matched an alert:
The command is wrong, since you cannot have options after the hostname -
but you do need a columnname instead. Try

   bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test --color=red TESTHOST conn

I tried using your config files, and cannot reproduce the problem; I
get the alert. Is this your entire hobbit-alerts.cfg ?


Regards,
Henrik
