<p>My Xymon (Xymon 4.3.30-1.el7.terabithia) is no longer noticing it
is time to stop sending email alerts.</p>
<p>A customer will ping me, saying "I'm still getting emails for a
problem I fixed 10 days ago!"</p>
<p>I find the messages in question in the <i>notifications.log</i>
Yep, there are a lot of them. I can see the test recovered ages
ago, and there should no longer be notifications.<br>
</p>
<p>If I go look in <i>alert.chk</i>, I can see the host:test in
question</p>
<p>If I restart xymon, the <i>alert.log</i> will get a bunch of
lines "Stale alert found", but the lines remain in the <i>alert.chk</i></p>
<p>The only way I have figured out to clean this up is to grep the
'Stale' host:test pairs out of the <i>alert.log</i>, stop xymon,
feed the host:test pairs through sed to delete the offending lines
from <i>alert.chk</i>, and restart xymon.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Anyone have any ideas what's wrong here?</p>
