I ran the " xymoncmd xymond_alert --test" as you suggested and it is definitely matching on the right entry:<br>
<br>
00019291 2013-05-13 15:52:53 *** Match with 'PAGE=SMARTS HOST=%sm[0-9]* EXSERVICE=files,msgs,ports,cpu' ***<br>
<br>
The lines in the logfile there are:<br>
<br>
PAGE=SMARTS HOST=%sm[0-9]* EXSERVICE=files,msgs,ports,cpu<br>
SCRIPT /opt/xymon/server/ext/<a href="http://html_mail.pl" target="_blank">html_mail.pl</a>
<a href="mailto:internalitnoc@colt.net">internalitnoc@colt.net</a> DURATION>1h COLOR=red RECOVERED STOP<br>
<br>
AFAIK this means that the alert should only be sent once, however it is being sent every thirty minutes as the lines from the log file show:<br>

I cannot fathom why it repeats at all so rather that look for something that isn't there, for now I have forced every alert to repeat every seven days but I would like to understand more about why this is working the way it is rather than the way it is supposed
to (or I think it is supposed to!).<br>
