Odd alerts behavior 🔗 link

 I am getting some very odd alerts behavior. I have everything setup using
macros like this:

$AV=%sserver1|server2|server3|server4|server5

$SYSADMIN=user-c6ffb6b6bba1@xymon.invalid

HOST=$AV
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red EXSERVICE=msgs,cpu REPEAT=30m RECOVERED
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu DURATION>20 REPEAT=30m
RECOVERED
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=purple REPEAT=1h RECOVERED

I have this repeated for multiple groups of servers. I have been adding one
server group in the HOST definitions one by one and all appeared fine. Also
checking the "Info" column for each server I saw the proper alerts
definition reflected there.


When I get to a certain amount of entries, (I haven't narrowed it down to
how many yet), it appears to double all entries for all servers so that I
now get TWO emails for each event. This is also reflected in the "Info" area
for all servers! 

Is there a diagnostic I can use to see if I am making a syntax or proceedure
error? This is driving me nuts!


Thanks

Add "--cfid" to the hobbitd_alert commandline in hobbitlaunch.cfg.
This will add "[cfid:N]" to the e-mail subject; "N" is the linenumber
in the config file that triggered the alert.

I believe I found it and it was self induced as usual. It was a stinkin
typo! 

I had this:
$IDG=%qa-server1|iw-server|econex-dc02|biz-mts-s2|via-ktest-s1|iw-tsite-s1|
via-cart-s1

Instead of this:
$IDG=%qa-server1|iw-server|econex-dc02|biz-mts-s2|via-ktest-s1|iw-tsite-s1|v
ia-cart-s1

That one space at the end did it so my advice to all.....don't do this!!


Thanks
