[hobbit] RE: Hobbit Emails empty

[Galen Johnson]

I don't think hobbit plays well with the BB windows client (I don't recal where I saw this).  Have you tried putting BBWin on one of the servers to see if that gives you any output?

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

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

# A sample rule:



HOST=* Color=red

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



#      MAIL cio at foo.com<mailto: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?
