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. </span></font></p>
