Subject: [hobbit] Duplicate Alerting issue.
I have a bit of a problem with my alert config.
Suppose I have two macros defined for host groups
$databases=%(sdb.*)
$unix=%(sdb.*|www.*)
Then I create some records like...
HOST=$databases
MAIL user-d41094030bcb@xymon.invalid
MAIL user-d361980bf330@xymon.invalid
HOST=$unix
MAIL user-d41094030bcb@xymon.invalid
MAIL user-7f7c55bdae94@xymon.invalid
The problem is then, that the managers group will get two alerts when
there is a problem with an sdb* box.
This was not the behavior under BB. Is there a way to keep the
duplicate alerts out?
Try to use the EXHOST tag:
HOST=$unix EXHOST=$databases
MAIL user-d41094030bcb@xymon.invalid
MAIL user-7f7c55bdae94@xymon.invalid
