getting DURATION error in hobbitd_alert

3 messages in this thread

list Robert P McGraw · Tue, 28 Sep 2010 15:35:27 -0400 · 
In my hobbit-alert.cfg I have added the "DURATION>10" and I a get a Failed. See below.

If I make it DURATION<10, then I do not get an error.

Should the ">" be escaped? If so what is the escaped character for xymon.

I have tried DURATION\>10 but it did not seem to like the \ as an escape character.


Thanks for all your help.

Robert

Robert, no need to escape the '>'.  On your hobbitd_alert --test command add
the parameter --duration=601

e.g.

../bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test galileo.math.purdue.edu procs
--duration=601

(that is all one line, of course :-).

The 601 makes the test work as if the alert was in effect for 10 minutes and
one second which will match on your DURATION>10 spec.
