Hi,

I have setup xymon server 4.3.10, here I have the issue with xymon alerts.
When conn test for a xymon client fail, I get alerts for all the services
monitored on the client, same when I reboot the client then the recovered
alert I get for all the services.  In such situation I just wants the alert
for
conn test not all the services.  Please help me to avoid this flood of
alerts.

Hi Nisha,

Can you provide your alerts.cfg? Feel free to sanitize any sensitive
information. I suspect you are matching all services like this:


HOST=* SERVICE=* COLOR=red DURATION>15m
        $ALERT_MARK


The SERVICE=* means it will match every service, which may be what
you've run into. Or perhaps you need to add a STOP so it doesn't fall
through to another rule.
