Subject: Re: [hobbit] Getting doubled alerts
The STOP condition triggers when it is used - i.e. it will only have
effect for "conn" tests, since it is inside a rule that has
"SERVICE=conn". But if you need to alert person2 and person3 of "conn"
problems, then you cannot use the STOP keyword.
Another way to avoid the duplicate alerts might be to restrict your general rule to not include the two special hosts:
HOST=* EXHOST=atscm,atcsc SERVICE=conn
MAIL user-43f0e15c2cc9@xymon.invalid COLOR=red
HOST=%atscm
MAIL user-43f0e15c2cc9@xymon.invalid COLOR=red
MAIL user-e7eda2829196@xymon.invalid COLOR=red
HOST=%atscs
MAIL user-43f0e15c2cc9@xymon.invalid COLOR=red
MAIL user-78aee4d399ab@xymon.invalid COLOR=red
So ... several ways of doing the same thing. You choose which one
matches your thinking best :-)

Henrik
