question about groups
list Richard Leon
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'
