Please fix the xymon digest settings

Would someone change the list server's digest setting to be less chatty? The listserver sent out 23 digest messages between 6:27 UTC and 13:43 UTC. 22 of which contained only one message. Based on the digest message subject, there were sent at: 6:27:14, 6:55:11, 7:30:45, 8:54:02, 9:27:05, 9:56:49, 10:42:43, 11:26:01, 11:53:10, 12:10:03, 12:17:26, 12:21:57, 12:48:43, 13:00:06, 13:02:01, 13:04:57, 13:10:27, 13:10:53, 13:22:18, 13:27:51, 13:32:00, 13:38:45, and 13:43:18. It seems silly to 10 single message digest sent within 43 minutes. Robert Herron user-8b27ea4290da@xymon.invalid

Sorry about that. I think I have found out what was happening: There was a threshold set so it would mail a digest message if more than 64 kB worth of message text had accumulated. With the proliferation of HTML emails, this would trigger much too soon. At least, I hope that was the reason why it was spewing those digests ... I've changed this now, so it should only send digests if a) it's been more than 24 hours since the last digest message, or b) for every 30 messages. Regards, Henrik

The digest is still not quite right. Maybe the listserver needs a kick to reload its configuration. Digest sent today: 26 Oct 2010 20:14:14 -0000 Issue 2696 Topics (messages 29819 through 29819) == 1 post 26 Oct 2010 20:04:10 -0000 Issue 2695 Topics (messages 29818 through 29818) == 1 post 26 Oct 2010 19:26:18 -0000 Issue 2694 Topics (messages 29817 through 29817) == 1 post 26 Oct 2010 19:21:19 -0000 Issue 2693 Topics (messages 29816 through 29816) == 1 post 26 Oct 2010 19:07:50 -0000 Issue 2692 Topics (messages 29815 through 29815) == 1 post 26 Oct 2010 18:33:51 -0000 Issue 2691 Topics (messages 29814 through 29814) == 1 post
