FW: [hobbit] TS - Trying to create an escalation in hobbit-alerts.cfg

[Patrick Nixon]

Tom,
 Here's a snippet from my hobbit-alerts file

PAGE=hometown
        MAIL local_sysadmin at server.com DURATION>2 color=red REPEAT=120
RECOVERED EXSERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com
        MAIL local_sysadmin at server.com DURATION>2 color=yellow
REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED EXSERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com
        MAIL local_sysadmin at server.com DURATION>11 color=red
REPEAT=120 RECOVERED SERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com
        MAIL local_sysadmin at server.com DURATION>11 color=yellow
REPEAT=1440 RECOVERED SERVICE=pull EXHOST=serverb.server.com

I think that answers your question from 12/4/2009

 In regards to the nightly reboot, you should put a DOWNTIME into your
bb-hosts file, so during that time frame it'll go blue instead of red

0000 is midnight in hobbit/xymon
