Hi there,<br />
<br />
I'm running XYmon 4.3.0-beta2 on the main server and XYmon 4.3.0-0.20080929 on the standby server.<br />
Both servers are running Debian 5.0.3 and XYmon was compiled from source.<br />
Now I'm experiencing a strange problem.<br />
I added some alerts to hobbit-alerts.cfg that should do the following:<br />
<br />
if a service (cluster, conn, disk, ports, procs or eDIR) is switching to red and stays red for more than 15 minutes a mail will be sent to a defined address. No repeat.<br />
<br />
I created a macro with the following parameters:<br />
<br />
$NOVELL=MAIL user@domain.tld REPEAT=0 COLOR=red RECOVERED EXHOST=%-rib.* SERVICE=cluster,conn,disk,eDIR,ports,procs DURATION>15<br />
<br />
and below that I created the alert entry:<br />
<br />
HOST=%^fs.*<br />
$NOVELL<br />
<br />
When I run bin/hobbitd_alert --config=etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg --dump-config it expands to:<br />
<br />
HOST=%^fs.* <br />
MAIL user@domain.tld FORMAT=TEXT REPEAT=0 EXHOST=%-rib.* SERVICE=cluster,conn,disk,eDIR,ports,procs COLOR=red DURATION>15 RECOVERED <br />
<br />
which seems to be ok.<br />
<br />
Also when I look at the info page of one of the servers it looks good:<br />
<br />

But last night the service ports went down for over 4 hours on 1 client and XYmon sent out emails every minute which should not be done if I understood the configuration right.<br />
It did send the mails from both servers although [bbpage] is disabled on the standby server.<br />
<br />
What I am doing wrong? I had a similar problem on another XYmon server (4.2.0) and there I set the REPEAT to 1 day and it disappeared. But that can't be the solution.<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
