Hello,

My hobbit-alert.cfg file has the following line in it:

HOST=*
        MAIL user-2a9e3c790857@xymon.invalid

I can run the command like this with the output below:

[hobbit at hobbithost bin]$ ./hobbitd_alert --test v43mgt conn
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 send_alert v43mgt:conn state Paging
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Matching host:service:page 'v43mgt:conn:' against rule line 129
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 *** Match with 'HOST=*' ***
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Matching host:service:page 'v43mgt:conn:' against rule line 129
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 *** Match with 'HOST=*' ***
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Mail alert with command '/var/spool/mail/hobbit "Hobbit [12345] v43mgt:conn CRITICAL (RED)" user-2a9e3c790857@xymon.invalid'


It seems to work but I never get the test email, I do get regular alarms when a host is down though. What is wrong my testing??? I just configured the hobbit server to alert me via email, so i am trying to test this.


thanx in advance, michael a. price
