RE: [hobbit] hobbit alerting?

Bruce,

I'm no expert, but I have been able to get a few emails out.

You can check in /hobbit/data/acks/notifications.log to see if it tried to
send an email.

Also, Henrik said a few days ago that the e-mail/SMS info on the info tab
isn't implemented yet.  So you won't see anything there.

Subject: [hobbit] hobbit alerting?

Hi,

I'm experimenting with the new alerting format, and wondering if I'm missing
something.

I have a test host that does proc checks for cron, and I've defined it as
such:

HOST=fedoracore3
        MAIL blysik (at) shutterfly.com SERVICE=procs

So I would assume that if the procs column goes into error, it would send
email to blysik (at) shutterfly.com.  So I stop cron, hobbit shows the error on
the display... but no email.

Also, the 'info' column for fedoracore3 doesn't show any alerts as being
defined.  Am I missing something?

Does hobbit check its alert file at some interval, or is a restart required
to read new alerts?  Thanks.
