Email alert clarifications
list Don Kuhlman
Hi folks. I'm trying to clean up some of our alerts and need a bit of help with my configurations. In our webpage for a host, under the Info page, I see the configuration below for emails. cpu user-3906fe8dc54c@xymon.invalid (R) - - 30m W:0800:1600 purple,yellow,red user-3c6388e071ba@xymon.invalid (R) - - 30m W:0800:1600 purple,yellow,red user-3c6388e071ba@xymon.invalid - - 30m - purple,yellow,red The way I'm reading this, is that we have the CPU alerts set for any non green condition for this host to send an email to the infrastructure team every 30 minutes between 8 AM and 4PM weekdays. There are two places telling it to send the appsupport team an email every 30 minutes for any non-green condition. However, one is at any time, the other is weekdays 8AM – 4PM First question, why is there an "R" in parentheses behind the first two alerts? Second question, where can I find the source of my duplicated "appsupport" email ? Thanks Don K

Correct.

The "(R)" means it will also send a "Recovered" message.

Easiest way is to run
xymoncmd xymond_alert --dump-config
to get the parsed version of the alerts.cfg file with the corresponding
line-numbers of the config file, and then run
xymoncmd xymond_alert --test SERVERNAME cpu \
--time=`date +%s --date="today 1 pm"`
to see where you get a "** Match with" hit.
