it should be counting the time from when the alert changes status (so, green-to-yellow, yellow-to-red, etc)
thought so
Try using the bbcmd "hobbitd_alert" test below to see if it is working as intended. It can be used as below:
/var/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test <hostname> <host test>
works in principle as expected, although there is no possibility to reproduce my scenario using test utility
Also, you might want to consider using DURATION<3m (specifying "m" for minutes). I'm not sure what the default is, but I personally prefer to be explicit; makes reading it a little easier as well.
from man pages: "The duration is specified as a number, _optionally_ followed by 'm' (minutes, default), 'h' (hours) or 'd' (days)."
--debug output of hobbitd_alert looks like:
(initial alert yellow)

Chears,

Dear Hobbits,
is DURATION keyword within hobbit-alerts.cfg relates to the time period
one test is in a special state, yellow or red, or more general the time
period since non-green state occurs. In example, i want to get exact one
notification at yellow state and one at red, but the following configuration does not work. I get notified on initial yellow alert, but
not on red one occurring 4 min later.
HOST=myhost SERVICE=disk COLOR=yellow DURATION<3
SCRIPT $SSMSS $ABSMS REPEAT=5 RECOVERED
HOST=myhost SERVICE=disk COLOR=red DURATION<3
SCRIPT $SSMSS $ABSMS REPEAT=5 RECOVERED
Any ideas? Thanks :-)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Yours sincerely
Anatoli Bogajewski
