DISPLAYGROUP on alert.cfg
list John Chen
Hi All,
I am using xmon-4.3.7 and xymon-4.3.5.
It seems the DISPLAYGROUP on alter.cfg is now functioning.
I have hosts.cfg as:
page page1 page1-desc
group group 1
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx host1 # tests
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx host2 # tests
group group 2
....
And in "alert.cfg" I have:
DISPLAYGROUP="group 1" COLOR=red RECOVERED
MAIL user-e7f6e934a015@xymon.invalid DURATION>5m REPEAT=24h
Restart/Relod the xymon daemon, and then check the "info" on host1 and
host2, I got:
Alerting: No alerts defined
Can somebody share some examples for using "DISPLAYGROUP" on alert.cfg?
Thanks,
John Chen

Assume you meant "NOT functioning" ...

See www.xymon.com, the "External sites" page and "www.sslug.dk": http://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=www.sslug.dk&SERVICE=info You can see the alert.cfg file on http://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/viewconf.sh?alert Regards, Henrik

Thanks Henrik.
Yes I meant "Not functioning".
In my hosts.cfg, I have spaces on the group description, i.e.:
group group 1
In alert.cfg, it works if I use:
DISPLAYGROUP=%group.1
However, it fails if I use:
DISPLAYGROUP="group 1"
What is the best way to put a string (with space in it) in DISPLAYGROUP?

What is the best way to put a string (with space in it) in DISPLAYGROUP?I use the "%group.1" myself :-) Handling strings with spaces in them has always been bothersome with the way Xymon parses configuration files. So I tend to avoid that by using the regex-with-wildcard expressions instead. Regards, Henrik
