<p>Hi!<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've been using Xymon for years and have recently begun to play around with the alerts.cfg, however, there is something I have been banging my head against the wall with, for weeks now. So I am reaching out to this list in the hopes that someone out there
might have the key to save me from eternal frustration.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>*snippet from my alerts.cfg*<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<div><em>HOST=* RECOVERED=1</em></div>
<div><em> IGNORE HOST=*</em></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><em>HOST=one-host SERVICE=http</em></div>
<div><em> MAIL someuser@domain.local COLOR=red</em></div>
<div><em> MAIL </em><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><em>someuser@domain</em></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><em>.local</em></span><em>
DURATION>5 COLOR=red</em></div>
<div><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>What I'm trying to accomplish is to stop the "I'm OK - recovered" messages. Those messages are irrelevant, so I want those filtered out. The problem though, is that the logic is completely off on this point. The first rule for some reason takes presedense,
even though I have explicitly told it to only use that rule IF the host has recovered, no? <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I want it to skip that rule, if it has not yet recovered, send mail to the first user immediately, then to the other user after 5 minutes, but leave those users alone if the service is OK again. Is there a way to accomplish this? <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely, <br>
