matching hosts and noconn
list Pierre Lardinois
Hello, In my bb-hosts, I have a section filled with servers where the test is noconn page serversNOCONN 123.123.123.110 server1 # noconn 123.123.123.112 server2 # noconn 123.123.123.113 server3 # noconn and another section where the servers have "real" tests page serversTESTS 123.123.123.110 server1 # testip !ftp !telnet If I try to make an alert rule with the following parameter, to retrieve all red alerts on the page serversNOCONN : PAGE=serversNOCONN .... MAIL .... I received no alerts. If I check with the test command : bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test server3 red conn I get this message : Failed 'PAGE=serversNOCONN [...] (pagename not in include list) My questions are : - Is it because hosts with noconn test only are not matched ? - What is the "include list"? - did I made something wrong somewhere ?

Hi Pierre
maybe you can use the "prefer" tag in bb-hosts :
prefer
When a single host is defined multiple time in the bb-hosts file,
bbgen tries to guess which definition is the best to use for the
information used on the "info" column, or for the NOPROPRED and
other bbgen-specific settings. Host definitions that have a "noconn"
tag or an IP of 0.0.0.0 get lower priority.
By using the "prefer" tag you tell bbgen that this host definition
should be used.
Note: This only applies to hosts that are defined multiple times in
the bb-hosts file, although it will not hurt to add it on other
hosts as well.
