proc : multiple alerts?

That's true. Could you do something with REPEAT?

In this specific case, he could use the ntp test. Otherwise you he'll probably need to write his own external test.

Hi,

BUT - if the procs-column is already in the red-state, when the 2nd process goes bad, it wont trigger a notification...

Write a script to put in alerts.cfg.

HOST=apple COLOR=red SERVICE=proc
        SCRIPT /usr/local/scripts/xymAppelProcs $NG-SYSADM $NG_DBA


Then the script will have to look at the alert, and see which one it is. And alert the proper person.

That is one alert - I want to be able to do

Host=appel
PROC=ntpd
alert a sysadmin

Host=appel
PROC=weblogic
alert a dba

Of course it's possible.

In analysis.cfg, you have something like this:


HOST=some.host.name
PROC ntpd 1
PROC <insert appropriate regex here> <minimum #> <maximum #>

And in alerts.cfg:

HOST=some.host.name
MAIL user-a445539a35b3@xymon.invalid<mailto:user-a445539a35b3@xymon.invalid> COLOR=<yellow or red>

I want to have a system procs (cron ntpd) alert

and

a dba procs (weblogic blah blah) alert.

Based on my current understanding this is not possible under 4.3 ?

I can write code to do this - I just do not want to do unnecessary work!
