The status message says:

> status radm200p,nandomedia,com.procs red Fri Jan 28 10:44:38 EST 2005 

so it is the "procs" column that is in error.

But here you have rules for the "proc" (no "s") column.

If I setup a config with these rules, but SERVICE=procs, your message
triggers an alert e-mail.


Me thinks it would be nice to have a "test" option for the alert
module, so you can run it with a hostname + testname as input, and it
will tell you which rules match, and which rules does not.
