Tue Mar 8 20:14:11 CET 2011

Doesn't the format=sms strip the subject from the email?

If you need html mail for some reason then this is probably no going to help, but it works fine for me.  This also removes the 'who are we paging' from the info pages.  I use SCRIPT and call an external file, some of the alerts are terse, others can contain more detail.  (I'm still on 4.2.0 :)

Examples below.

alert config:
PAGE=%^example/(moo|foo) SERVICE=conn COLOR=red DURATION>2m
SCRIPT $alertdir/page-primary.sh page-web-prim FORMAT=sms REPEAT=15m

page-primary.sh
-----
#!/bin/bash

/bin/mail -s "$BBHOSTSVC" 1234567890 at somewheretmomail.net < /dev/null

-----
#!/bin/bash

/bin/mail -s "$BBHOSTSVC" gfoo at somewhere121323123.com <<EOM
$BBALPHAMSG
EOM

Regards,

I've had the same issue with the cluster.exe sending alerts in html but not including the <html> tag so it shows up like yours does.  You can script it and have it send in html but it will attach a .bin file which is more of a pain than just reading between the tags imo.

Maybe someone else has a solution?

Hi Daniel,

I am using FORMAT=PLAIN in the "hobbit-alerts.cfg" file.

With Regards,
Jayanta.

Have you tried using the format= setting?  Or are you using a script?
