Hi Henrik and others who help to develop this invaluable piece of software, Xymon!
I've been used BB more than 15 years for now and now trying to migrate to Xymon because it seems more flexible and powerful to me. Now I'm in the middle of converting my existing (fairly complex) bbwarnrules to alerts.cfg
Everything works great except some strange to me cases with UNMATCHED.
For example, if you look at these two configurations - they seem similar to human eye:
1: using IGNORE
---
HOST=*
IGNORE HOST=somehost
MAIL user-d7ae79a03f32@xymon.invalid
HOST=*
MAIL user-0003ff222856@xymon.invalid UNMATCHED
---
2: using EX...
---
HOST=* EXHOST=somehost
MAIL user-d7ae79a03f32@xymon.invalid
HOST=*
MAIL user-0003ff222856@xymon.invalid UNMATCHED
---
However, the first (IGNORE HOST) construction does NOT send alert to user-039bea1231df@xymon.invalid in case of somehost alert, as expected.
Is it bug or is there some explanation for this behavior?
With kindest regards,
Märt
