[hobbit] RE: Hobbit Emails empty

[Kevin Doyle]

I just looked at an email in the sendmail queue and there is subject
only - no body. Where do I look in Hobbit to see what message is being
generated? Perhaps it is not even logging the message and only the
subjects?

Kevin,

I delete the mail notices from Hobbit so I can't say how it should look,
but here is what I am using:

HOST=*
  MAIL user at domain.tld COLOR=RED DURATION>15m REPEAT=60 RECOVERED

Try this:

HOST=*
     MAIL kdoyle (at) peak5.com <http://peak5.com/>  COLOR=RED REPEAT=20
RECOVERED

Yes here is the relevant line in my hobbit-alerts.cfg

# The hobbit-alerts.cfg file controls who receives alerts

# This file is made up from RULES and RECIPIENTS.

# A RULE is a filter made from the PAGE where a host

#
# A RECIPIENT can be a MAIL address, or a SCRIPT.

# A sample rule:
 
HOST=* Color=red
     MAIL kdoyle (at) peak5.com FORMAT=TEXT COLOR=RED REPEAT=20
RECOVERED
 
#      MAIL cio at foo.com DURATION>60 COLOR=red
#      SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsms 1234567890 FORMAT=SMS
 
 
 
 
Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg please?

Subject: Hobbit Emails empty

 

I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running Hobbit
4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except
alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject
and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the
link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly
simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit. 

 

Any Ideas?
