change alert email text?
list Scott Gardner
Hello, Sorry if this is horribly ignorant. I'm rather new to the whole network administration biz. I've got alerts functioning nicely, but I'd like to change the text of the email that's sent out. Is there a cfg file somewhere I'm missing that I could edit? Thank you, -Scott

Can you give an example of how you would like to change it?

I'd like to change the url that shows at the bottom. Currently it's something like http://localhost/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=blahblahblah I'd like to change "localhost" to "my.hostname.edu" Thanks, -Scott

That's a matter of the hobbit server's hostname and/or webpage configuration. Can you do the following, and post the results: # hostname # cat /etc/hosts # cat <hobbit root>/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg | egrep "BBSERVERHOSTNAME|BBSERVERWWWNAME" Odds are, BBSERVERWWWNAME is probably set to "localhost". Changing it to " my.hostname.edu" should fix that (restarting Hobbit will be required).

How many people actually use regular old email Hobbit alerts? I've found it far superior to have bbtray or the summary page open on a second monitor.

I still use email alerts. It's easy for a lazy admin to ignore the summary page and just close it if they don't like what they see. Much harder to ignore emails. ;-)

Especially if they all go to the team responsible, and that team's management.

I see. I know when we got the emails the first reaction was to switch tabs in Firefox to get more detail. The email was always deleted, rarely read. Glad to see it works out well for someone though!

Ahh, I love that notification.log file. There's nothing more satisfying that whipping that log out and then backing it up with the maillogs to prove they definitely received the emails and either deleted them or spam-filtered them. The look they have (or silence, if on the phone) is priceless when they think they have a way to "prove" Hobbit needs to be replaced, only to learn that they can't sneak anything past it.

I think you will find that the text of the mail message is just the contents of the message as was generated by xymonnet in response to the failure. Look at:
/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=4ai1gub4x9.foo.com&SERVICE=conn
I think you'll have to write your own email generator if you want to send something else. It could be as simple as a filter which grep'd out ip addresses.
<un-solicited opinion>
The members of your security office are being simple-minded drones. "OMG, it contains an ip address, it must be stopped!"
To whom are you sending these messages? Presumably they will be sent to someone who cares and who can do something to correct the problem. In both of these cases, the IP address of the system should already be known. If you are sending messages of this sort to someone who doesn't care or who can't affect a resolution, the messages are spam and should not be sent.

I'm wondering if there is a quick answer on how to change the email alert text that Xymon generates.
Specifically it is required that I remove the IP address from the email.
Example:
---
red Fri Apr 3 17:54:18 2015 conn NOT ok
Service conn on 4ai1gub4x9 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping
System unreachable for 223 poll periods (7274 seconds)
&red 10.0.0.10 is unreachable
---
would become:
---
red Fri Apr 3 17:54:18 2015 conn NOT ok
Service conn on 4ai1gub4x9 is not OK : Host does not respond to ping
System unreachable for 223 poll periods (7274 seconds)
&red 4ai1gub4x9 is unreachable
---
