[Xymon] Alerts not working as expected

[Scot Kreienkamp]

I think you can only have one EXPAGE argument, and it must be structured like this:

EXPAGE=%(Prod/DoNotAlert*)

OR

EXPAGE=Prod/DoNotAlert,Prod/DoNotAlert1

The alerts can be found on the info page.  If you get it correct they will disappear from that page.  Don’t forget it may take a while for Xymon to reload the config file after a change unless you restart it.

Hi,

My Alerts are Not Working as expected.  I have The following in my hosts.cfg and my alerts.cfg.  The result I'm after is that the Servers in the DoNotAlert subpages should not alert but the pages in subpage Alerts must.  Currently, they are all alerting despite the EXPAGE setting in the alerts.cfg file.  When I switch off any of them the conn sends an alert no matter what permutations I try.  Any help would be appreciated.

host.cfg
page Prod  Prod Hosts
subpage Alert Alert
0.0.0.0         .default.                               # NOPROPRED:* NOPROPPURPLE:* NOPROPYELLOW:*
127.0.0.1    prod1.domain.com<http://prod1.domain.com>            # conn

subpage DoNotAlert DoNotAlert
127.0.0.2    prod2.domain.com<http://prod2.domain.com>            # conn

subpage DoNotAlert1 DoNotAlert1
127.0.0.3    prod3.domain.com<http://prod3.domain.com>            # conn
