But in Hobbit I tried with the same code and it did not send any
page.
That is because Hobbit doesn't support the BB "page" protocol. If
you send hobbitd such a request, it is silently dropped. I've updated
the bb man-page to reflect this.
Alerts in Hobbit happen as a result of a "status" message. The magic
"notify-admin" hostname does not exist in Hobbit.
I have HOST=notify-admin SERVICE=maint
MAIL my.email at here
And when I did the ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test notify-admin maint,
it matches the rule fine.
If you had a host called "notify-admin" with a "maint" status column,
then this rule would control alerts for that status.
