Hobbit Emails empty

list Kevin Doyle · Tue, 13 May 2008 13:12:12 -0600 ·

I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running Hobbit
4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except
alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject
and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the
link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly
simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit. 

 
Any Ideas?

Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg please?

Yes here is the relevant line in my hobbit-alerts.cfg
 
#
# The hobbit-alerts.cfg file controls who receives alerts
# when a status in the BB system goes into a critical
# state (usually: red, yellow or purple).
#
# This file is made up from RULES and RECIPIENTS.
#
# A RULE is a filter made from the PAGE where a host
# is located in BB; the HOST name, the SERVICE name,
# the COLOR of the status, the TIME of day, and the
# DURATION of the event.
#
# A RECIPIENT can be a MAIL address, or a SCRIPT.
#
# Recipients can also have rules associated with them,
# that modify the rules for a single recipient, e.g.
# you can define a rule for alerting, then add an
# extra criteria e.g. so a single recipient does not get

I just looked at an email in the sendmail queue and there is subject
only - no body. Where do I look in Hobbit to see what message is being
generated? Perhaps it is not even logging the message and only the
subjects?

From what I understand you're trying to get some details in the email alert,
correct?

To be honest I don't really use the email alerts.  I have SMS messages for
the serious stuff, but I use it as a notification and just look at the web
pages.  I use the WML and HTML pages on my phone and computer after the
notification.

I don't think hobbit plays well with the BB windows client (I don't recal where I saw this).  Have you tried putting BBWin on one of the servers to see if that gives you any output?

Subject: Hobbit Emails empty

I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit.

Any Ideas?

		I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am
running Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct
except alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a
subject and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert
and the link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something
fairly simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit. 

		 
		Any Ideas?

Sure thing... this may be documented but I found it so quickly I hadn't
even gone ot the man pages yet! :-)

 
Here is the relevant section of hobbitserver.cfg

 
Originally BBWEBHOST had http://$BBSERVERWWWNAME
<http://$bbserverwwwname/>;  I changed it to https:// and the emails had
the correct link.

 
# Specific to this host

BBOSTYPE="$BBSERVEROS"          # Hosttype (operating system). Not used
by server-side, but clients use this.

MACHINEDOTS="$BBSERVERHOSTNAME" # This systems hostname

MACHINEADDR="$BBSERVERIP"       # This systems IP-address

 
# URL's generated/used by bbgen

BBWEBHOST="https://$BBSERVERWWWNAME";            # Just the host part of
the URL - http://www.foo.com

BBWEBHOSTURL="$BBWEBHOST$BBSERVERWWWURL"        # Prefix for all static
Hobbit pages - http://www.foo.com/bb

BBWEBHTMLLOGS="$BBWEBHOSTURL/html"              # Prefix for the Hobbit

		I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am
running Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct
except alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a
subject and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert
and the link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something
fairly simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit.

As I said above I don't know what the alerts send me as far as a body.
Could you outline what needs done for the content to be included in the
alerts?  You need to have FQDNs and what checked?

Thanks for the above post!

Ok, after some trial and error, I figured this out. Hobbit will only get
the full message from the client if you are using FQDN in bb-hosts and have
the check box on the client checked.


Now is there a way to change the http link that is sent out in the message?
My server uses https rather than http.

I don't think hobbit plays well with the BB windows client (I don't recal
where I saw this).  Have you tried putting BBWin on one of the servers to
see if that gives you any output?

On the bbnt1-08d client there is a checkmark available for FQDN.
Checking that and adding the fully qualified name to the bb-hosts file
is what fixed the issue/
