[Xymon] Monitoring FILES and adressing them seperate

[Tim McCloskey]

I don't think we have that level of alerting granularity by default.  If I am wrong someone will chime in with an answer.  Sometimes it's easy enough to just create your own client side script and place it under client/ext.  There are already examples in the documents but that looks like a simple bash script with a unique name and some if tests.  One advantage is you can complete that pretty quickly and assign alerts for the unique named test to the night crew.  One (possible) disadvantage is that you are adding an additional test name, which might not be desired in your environment.

Regards, 
Tim

Hi,

I have 6 file-checks on 1 server similar to this:

FILE /nfs/backup/file1 red MTIME<7200

- is there ANY way to address each of these checks individually? So I can compare them and see if 2 or more is triggered?

I only want to send alerts to our night-team if more of the checks trigger at the same time – any clue to how to script that?
