Alerts not working as expected 🔗 link

Hi,

My Alerts are Not Working as expected.  I have The following in my
hosts.cfg and my alerts.cfg.  The result I'm after is that the Servers in
the DoNotAlert subpages should not alert but the pages in subpage Alerts
must.  Currently, they are all alerting despite the EXPAGE setting in the
alerts.cfg file.  When I switch off any of them the conn sends an alert no
matter what permutations I try.  Any help would be appreciated.

I think you can only have one EXPAGE argument, and it must be structured like this:

EXPAGE=%(Prod/DoNotAlert*)

OR

EXPAGE=Prod/DoNotAlert,Prod/DoNotAlert1

The alerts can be found on the info page.  If you get it correct they will disappear from that page.  Don?t forget it may take a while for Xymon to reload the config file after a change unless you restart it.
