Having some issues getting email alerts to come

HI Larry. Thanks for the tips.  I've modified it and actually found an error on the email address in the alerts.cfg file.

In the macro definition, there was a double @domain.com – eg where it said html_mail.pl user-59b3568abfc7@xymon.invalid<mailto:user-59b3568abfc7@xymon.invalid>@domain.com

That must have got stuck on there when I was editing the file with nano and doing some cut/paste operations.

In any case, I'm getting all kinds of email now.

Regards,

Don K

You need to specify a 'GROUP' in your alerts.cfg stanza:

#Rule and Recipient for all host cpu disk mem proc alerts
GROUP=SRMINFRA
SERVICE=cpu,disk,mem,proc TIME=W:0800:1600 RECOVERED
$SRMINFRA

I'm also not too sure that giving the macro and the group the same name is such a good idea.

Thanks,

Hi folks. It's been quiet on the list so I thought I would start a new thread ;)  I've been googling this and trying to get it to work from the man pages the last few days.

I started to try and clean up alerting and emails in our environment from xymon.

I just want to get email alerts for CPU, Mem, and Disk from any host we have and send it to a single email group, but am not getting any emails even though the hosts are showing red alerts on the xymon web pages.

Here is what I put in analysis.cfg

host=* TIME:W:0800:1600

#Setting for this rule is the value to watch LOAD PROC CPU DISK etc
        DISK * 90 95 GROUP=SRMINFRA
        LOAD 8.0 12.0 GROUP=SRMINFRA
        PROC cron GROUP=SRMINFRA


DEFAULT
        # These are the built-in defaults.
        UP 1h
        LOAD    5.0 10.0 GROUP=SRMINFRA
        DISK    * 90 95 GROUP=SRMINFRA
        MEMPHYS 100 101
        MEMSWAP 50 80
        MEMACT  90 97

Here is what I put in alerts.cfg
#Macro definition
$SRMINFRA=SCRIPT /home/xymon/server/ext/html_mail.pl<http://html_mail.pl>; user-59b3568abfc7@xymon.invalid<mailto:user-59b3568abfc7@xymon.invalid> FORMAT=TEXT

#Rule and Recipient for all host cpu disk mem proc alerts
SERVICE=cpu,disk,mem,proc TIME=W:0800:1600 RECOVERED
$SRMINFRA


Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks
