Thanks Larry, Carl and Mike, I couldn't find that repeat option anywhere, clearly I was looking in the wrong places!

The default repeat interval (set in xymonserver.cfg) is 30 minutes.
Thanks,

I ran the " xymoncmd xymond_alert --test" as you suggested and it is definitely matching on the right entry:
00019291 2013-05-13 15:52:53 *** Match with 'PAGE=SMARTS HOST=%sm[0-9]* EXSERVICE=files,msgs,ports,cpu' ***
The lines in the logfile there are:
PAGE=SMARTS HOST=%sm[0-9]* EXSERVICE=files,msgs,ports,cpu
SCRIPT /opt/xymon/server/ext/html_mail.pl<http://html_mail.pl>; user-569f3875c7f6@xymon.invalid<mailto:user-569f3875c7f6@xymon.invalid> DURATION>1h COLOR=red RECOVERED STOP
AFAIK this means that the alert should only be sent once, however it is being sent every thirty minutes as the lines from the log file show:

I cannot fathom why it repeats at all so rather that look for something that isn't there, for now I have forced every alert to repeat every seven days but I would like to understand more about why this is working the way it is rather than the way it is supposed to (or I think it is supposed to!).

I cannot fathom why it repeats at all so rather that look for something that
isn't there I have forced every alert to repeat every seven days to see if that
resolves the issue!

Hi all,
I have the following in my alerts.cfg:

Yet I am still getting CPU alerts from ivma2.lon.osspriv.colt.net<http://ivma2.lon.osspriv.colt.net>;
Try running
xymoncmd xymond_alert --test ivma2.lon.osspriv.colt.net<http://ivma2.lon.osspriv.colt.net>; cpu and
look for lines like

to see which rule triggers the alert.
