Hi,
Tried setting just the PAGE
Ie.
PAGE=OPS
SCRIPT /usr/local/xymon/server/ext/html_mail.pl user-12b45993108e@xymon.invalid FORMAT=PLAIN REPEAT=900 RECOVERED
Didn't work, same issue.
Setting it explicitly works fine
Ie.
$OPSHOSTS=host1|host2|host3|host4|host5
HOST=%$OPSHOSTS SERVICE=%(cluster|app_test|oracle_test|conn|cpu|disk|procs)
SCRIPT /usr/local/xymon/server/ext/html_mail.pl user-12b45993108e@xymon.invalid FORMAT=PLAIN REPEAT=900 RECOVERED
For me it is just that the PAGE directive doesn't work as I'm expecting.

Setting up alerts for the OPS, so I added these lines to alert.cfg
$OPSHOSTS=&(host1|host2|host3|host4|host5)
HOST=$OPSHOSTS PAGE=OPS
you want it like this
$OPSHOSTS=host1|host2|host3|host4|host5
HOST=%$OPSHOSTS
OR
PAGE=OPS
SCRIPT /usr/local/xymon/server/ext/html_mail.pl user-12b45993108e@xymon.invalid

We have many hosts but the OPS just monitor the PRODUCTION ones.
And they also got just a subset of tests.
This page is defined in hosts.cfg
page OPS OPS
group-only cluster|app_test|oracle_test|conn|cpu|disk|procs Production
10.0.0.1 host1
10.0.0.2 host2
10.0.0.3 host3
10.0.0.4 host4
10.0.0.5 host5
This seems to work quite well except that the alert.cfg PAGE=OPS alerts on
any alert on any of the hosts on that page.
It doesn't alert on other hosts so that works.
ex. They get alerts on msg but that is not defined as a test in the
group-only directive on the OPS page.
It confuses them a lot because they get an alert mail but their page is
still green...
I thought PAGE should only alert on the group-only tests defined in
hosts.cfg.
Is this a bug or feature?

Ps. Henrik there is a typo in alerts.cfg on line 70
