Alarms.cfg REPEAT=Minutes not working?

12 messages in this thread

list Shannon Anderson · Tue, 25 Sep 2012 19:34:29 +0000 ·

I am seeing in the Alarm.log file that my REPEAT value in alarms.cfg is not being picked up.

:::Log:::
2012-09-24 18:52:16 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=720' at line 122

Man pages says
REPEAT

How often an alert gets repeated. As with the DURATION setting, this is in minutes


So I was expecting 1 alarm and then it holds for 12 hours until alarms again for the same failure.

Has anyone had issues with this working as it should or may I have the syntax wrong?

Still on Hobbitmon 4.2.3 (not even called Xymon) and this definitely works.
 Started emailing (texting) me at 1:04 and every hour until 6:04 with a
recovery message at 6:05 (when I fixed it).

Ditto. This feature definitely works on 4.2.3 and I'm sure could not have been broken in the newer one.

I am seeing in the Alarm.log file that my REPEAT value in alarms.cfg is not being picked up.____

2012-09-24 18:52:16 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=720' at line 122____

Man pages says____

*REPEAT____*

How often an alert gets repeated. As with the DURATION setting, this is in minutes____

__ __

So I was expecting 1 alarm and then it holds for 12 hours until alarms again for the same failure.____

__ __

Has anyone had issues with this working as it should or may I have the syntax wrong?____

You can also test your syntax without having to wait , on the server,
for example:

/usr/local/xymon/server/bin/xymond_alert --test myserver.example.com
httpd --color=red--duration=200

duration is in seconds
