Hello,

I'm in need of some help with the email and page part of hobbit.

My file monitor went red and nothing happened? I'm new at this so please
be patient.

Can you help me understand this.. , here is my hobbit server
hobbit-alerts.cfg 

 
HOST=sys1 BBHOSTSVC=every_service

    MAIL user-89b343014dc7@xymon.invalid REPEAT=05 RECOVERED

    MAIL user-89b343014dc7@xymon.invalid  DURATION>10 COLOR=red

 
GROUP=UNIX_TEAM_PROCESS

     MAIL user-92ec93b8c372@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT

 
GROUP=UNIX_TEAM_PARTITION

     MAIL user-89b343014dc7@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT

GROUP=APPS_TEAM_PARTITION

     MAIL user-92ec93b8c372@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT

 
This is my hobbit server hobbit-clients.cfg

 
HOST=sys1

       
        UP      1h

        LOAD    5.0 10.0

        DISK    * 55 65         GROUP=UNIX_TEAM_PARTITION

        MEMPHYS 100 101         GROUP=UNIX_TEAM_PARTITION

        MEMSWAP 50 80

        MEMACT  90 97

        PROC defunct  0 0  red

        LOG /var/log/messages  WARNING COLOR=yellow

        LOG /var/log/maillog   WARNING COLOR=yellow

        #LOG /var/opt/hobbitclient42/log/clientlaunch.log WARNING
COLOR=yellow

        #LOG /var/opt/hobbitclient42/log/hobbitclient.log  WARNING

        FILE /etc/passwd  SIZE>0  OWNERID=root  COLOR=yellow

I can suggest looking at the info page for the host - that will tell you how
the alert is setup.

Hi Becki,
 
I have not played with alerts yet, that's in my list of things to do,
but I did have the following link stored away:
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-alerts.html
 
and, more importantly for you, the following text:
If you want to test how your alert configuration handles a specific
host, you can run hobbitd_alert in test mode - you give it a hostname
and servicename as input, and it will go through the configuration and
tell you which rules match and who gets an alert.


	osiris:~ $ cd server/
	osiris:~/server $ ./bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test
osiris.hswn.dk cpu
	Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule
line 109:Matched
	    *** Match with 'HOST=*' ***
	Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule
line 110:Matched
	    *** Match with 'MAIL user-7bb72e0929d1@xymon.invalid REPEAT=2 RECOVERED
COLOR=red' ***
	Mail alert with command 'mail -s "BB [12345] osiris.hswn.dk:cpu
is RED" user-7bb72e0929d1@xymon.invalid'

This may help you diagnose the problem.
Good luck,
