Kevin,

Would you mind posting the configuration change you made here, please?  It
makes it nice for those who read over the mailing list logs in the future.

Ok, after some trial and error, I figured this out. Hobbit will only get
the full message from the client if you are using FQDN in bb-hosts and have
the check box on the client checked.


Now is there a way to change the http link that is sent out in the message?
My server uses https rather than http.

So where would I look to see what message is being logged by the client? It
appears this is not being sent to sendmail?

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 =)

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?

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


#

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

#

# 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?
