I have a question. If I specify a group in the clients file and have a
wildcard in the alerts file.  I am still getting alerts even though I am not
in the group. Is there  a way for me not to get an alert for an fs if I am
not in that group? And also if I disable an alarm to blue does that disable
all disk tests or just for that fs?


This is what I have.

 
Hobbit-clients

Dbfs GROUP=database

 
]hobbit-alerts

 
Admins

HOST=%^hp* SERVICE=conn,disk,bad_disk,procs

MAIL user-b75305ea6ec0@xymon.invalid

 
GROUP=database

 MAIL user-e0aff3f0c10a@xymon.invalid

 
Thanks Richard

the GROUP= may not be effective (bug or misconfig). I found 'STOP' flag
useful as a get-around. It basically tells hobbitd_alert stop searching for
more actions for the same alert combo (host/test/color/duration) once it
finds its first match in hobbit-alerts.cfg.
You can check what hobbitd_alert thinks of the rules by 'bbcmd hobbitd_alert
--test dbServer dbFs | grep -i command'. To get truly verbose, use '--debug'
