[Xymon] [Possible Spam] Re: [Possible Spam] Acknowledgements Report - No events acked in last 0 minutes

[Steve B]

It is acknowledge.log, made a mistake in my reply.
We are on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3

One thing we have noticed (and perhaps related to this issue) is that
acknowledgements.sh is expecting a certain format for the ack logs and it
simply doesn't match

>From the code, we see it is supposed to look like this:

"2015-03-07 18:17:03 myserver disk andy 1 1425724570 1425752223 1425838623
testing message"

whereas in our acknowledge.log, we see

"1429794310      932040  1440    932040  np_filename_not_used
host.msgs   yellow  Jobs reconfigured \nAcked by: user (127.0.0.1)"


Not the same amount of fields and using epoch time.


Any ideas?


Cheers
