It is possible the cores are caused by running two clients on the same host both redirecting to ~hobbitclient/tmp/msg.txt.  That would explain my occasional rash of purples followed by greens at least.  I am going to work around that.

If I  remove most of the entries from bin/hobbitclient-osf1.sh will the back-end get annoyed and engage in odd behavior?  Or will it simply not send cpu, procs, disk, etc.. to the web page?

I dont think so. It is your server modules that are crashing, so what
happens on the client shouldn't matter at all.

Unfortunately, the backtrace you've sent from the core-files doesn't
reveal much of where the crash happens - which indicates that there's
something that thrashes the stack and causes the crash.

To begin with, I'd like you to add "--debug" to the hobbitd command
line. This will cause a lot of output to go into your hobbitd.log file,
the interesting bits obviously is what happens when it crashes. I'd
like to see the full log file, though - I'll e-mail you details of where
you can upload it since it's probably too large for e-mail.

It should simply stop sending the messages it doesn't have data for.

Below is all I have in my hobbit-alerts.cfg file currently.  I first tested
this with no macro at all and I got the emails fine, but now when trying to
build macros it does not send the mail.


#    PAGER GROUPS
$nocsupp = user-337afe88c8b7@xymon.invalid,user-5944348b568b@xymon.invalid

#    HOST GROUPS
$testing = tardis,nocsunray04,weslap


HOST=$testing
        MAIL $nocsupp REPEAT=10 RECOVERED

Avoid using spaces.

The hobbit-alerts.cfg man page refers you to the bb-hosts man page for the
TIME specification, in particular the section in bb-hosts dealing with
DOWNTIME.

Hi all

The alerting is starting to take shape but I've a question regarding
how the alerting works.  If I have a stanza similar to the following,
how is it evaluated?  Once for all hosts, or for one host at a time?
---
HOST=%.*
        # Proliant tests
        MAIL user-4c524593359c@xymon.invalid SERVICE=proliant FORMAT=SMS REPEAT=1440m

        MAIL user-4c524593359c@xymon.invalid COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory

        MAIL user-65aef167d5bd@xymon.invalid COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory
PAGE=dev RECOVERED

        # Non-dev status YELLOW
        MAIL user-65aef167d5bd@xymon.invalid COLOR=yellow
SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory REPEAT=1440m DURATION>30m
        MAIL user-65aef167d5bd@xymon.invalid COLOR=yellow
SERVICE=cpu,disk,memory RECOVERED
---

Also, I've noticed that when a fault occurs I get two emails (or sms')
and another when the fault is rectified.  I'm thinking this is because
of the 'RECOVERED' line but i thought this would only trigger when the
fault goes.  Have I misunderstood?

Thanks

I understand your curiosity, but does it really matter how ?
But it is evaluated whenever a potential alert may be generated,
based on the host/service combination, time-of-day and all the
other criteria. Think of it as a set of rules, and each time
there something red or yellow, hobbitd_alert looks at this set of 
rules and finds those actions that match (if any).

▸ quoted from Colin Coe

HOST=%.*
       # Proliant tests
       MAIL user-4c524593359c@xymon.invalid SERVICE=proliant FORMAT=SMS REPEAT=1440m
       MAIL user-4c524593359c@xymon.invalid SERVICE=proliant FORMAT=SMS RECOVERED

Also, I've noticed that when a fault occurs I get two emails (or sms')
and another when the fault is rectified.  I'm thinking this is because
of the 'RECOVERED' line but i thought this would only trigger when the
fault goes.  Have I misunderstood?

I think you have. Your configuration sets up two alerting actions, but
both of them send mail to the same recipient. That's why you get two
messages. What you want to do is simpler:

HOST=%.*
        # Proliant tests
        MAIL user-4c524593359c@xymon.invalid SERVICE=proliant FORMAT=SMS REPEAT=1440m RECOVERED

This will give you one message when the service goes red or yellow, and
one when it recovers. "RECOVERED" is an "add-on" to the normal alert,
since you probably would like to know not only when something is fixed,
but also when it broke.


Regards,
Henrik
