Alerts problems
list Kevin Hanrahan
I am having a bit of trouble with the alerts. I have the following rule:
HOST=%
MAIL user-490a14721d84@xymon.invalid COLOR=red EXSERVICE=http RECOVERED
My understanding is that this should work as follows:
For ALL hosts:
Mail user-490a14721d84@xymon.invalid
if, the alert is RED only
and if the service is other than http
and mail when it recovers
What actually happens is:
I get ALL alerts, for ALL colors, and ALL services
What did I do wrong?
Please advise.
Thank you
Kevin

What do you get when you run the followign test for a host ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_laert --test host.domain service And ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --dump-config You may want to post it here to help you troubleshoot

Hmm - there's been one more report like that. So I probably messed up something. Will look at it later tonight. Regards, Henrik

Yeah, I just noticed the same thing. Alerts every minute. -- Bruce Z. Lysik <user-4e63a10f8934@xymon.invalid> Operations Engineer

The culprit is line 1488 of hobbitd/do_alert.c. I remember looking at
this and thinking "this looks wrong" and then changing it ... well,
it wasn't wrong so instead of fixing a bug, I broke it.
It's a simple fix: Change a 0 to a 1 (literally one bit that makes a
difference). After the post-RC4 patch, line 1488 reads
rpt = find_repeatinfo(alert, recip, 0);
It should be
rpt = find_repeatinfo(alert, recip, 1);

Henrik
