<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I'm trying to configure a new setup of xymon server 4.3.30, and I planned to use "CLASS" to group alerts. So I have stuff like this in hosts.cfg (notice I'm using both CLASS and NAME) (IP addresses and host names changed to protect the

<p class="MsoPlainText">The class shows up correctly on the info page (at the bottom, under "Other tags"). It also works correctly for filtering in the "enable/disable" (enadis) page. But I haven't figured out how to use it in alerts.cfg.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I tried:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">CLASS=apache<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> MAIL yadayada<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">HOST=%.* CLASS=apache<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> MAIL yadayada<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">HOST=%.*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> MAIL yadayada CLASS=apache<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Nothing seems to work. Is there something I need to do to enable class in alerts?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Or am I getting the syntax wrong?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Is this a bug?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">When I say it doesn't seem to work, I mean that I don't see the alert in the "info" page for that host if I try to select by class.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Another detail: I am using include files in hosts.cfg. For example:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">group Apache<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">include /opt/xymon/server/etc/hosts.d/apache.cfg<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Any ideas are welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
