Ok, tried BBWin with the same results.

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?

Kevin,

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

Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg please?

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?
