[hobbit] Alert config issue or question -- 4.2 Alpha Release (and 4.03 Rc1)

[Kauffman, Tom]

Nope - same result both ways (and the doc says minutes is the default,
FWIW).

Not sure if this could be the problem, but your DURATION parameter in
the MAIL line just says "DURATION>6". Maybe hours is the default, and
you need to change it to DURATION>6m (like your second use of it on the
last line)?

I've a problem with my running 4.03RC1 (yeah, I know :-) that doesn't
seem to change with 4.2 Alpha.
 
With this alert_config set:
 
HOST=%(whq-sapcon-1|whq-sapcon-2) EXSERVICE=msgs
        SCRIPT=/usr/local/hobbit/server/ext/pg/sms oracle_echelon
SERVICE=telnet,svcs,procs color=RED DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h
        MAIL techsupt at localhost SERVICE=telnet,svcs,procs DURATION>6
REPEAT=4h
        MAIL techsupt at localhost UNMATCHED DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h
 
I get this when running the test:
 
00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page
'whq-sapcon-1:telnet:' against rule line 140

00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page

00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Failed 'MAIL techsupt at localhost UNMATCHED
DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h' (min. duration 0<360)
 
So if I'm reading this correctly, my 'duration>6m' is being interpreted
as 'duration>6h'. The intent here is to require two failed tests before
paging. Where have I gone wrong?
