Questions about Enable/Disable/NOTICE



1. When I disable a host in hobbit, it says it was disabled by unknown (at) 1.2.3.4 <mailto:unknown (at) 1.2.3.4>.
In the bb maint.pl script, it had an option to put a username, but I don't see an option to do this in the Hobbit Maint page, so is "unknown" hard coded, or does it look for it somewhere else?


2. I added the "NOTICE" rule to my hobbit-alerts.cfg

HOST=* SERVICE=* COLOR=red
MAIL me (at) mydomain.com <mailto:me (at) mydomain.com> RECOVERED NOTICE

I then tested disabling the cpu service for a host, and I received an email with the disable message:

-----
From: hobbit (at) myhost.com <mailto:hobbit (at) myhost.com>
Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 5:01 PM
To: me (at) mydomain.com <mailto:me (at) mydomain.com>
Subject: Hobbit servername:cpu NOTICE
servername:cpu INFO
Monitoring of servername:cpu has been DISABLED by unknown for 240 minutes
Disabled by: unknown @ 1.2.3.4
Reason: testing disable notice
-----

This is what I expected to get. However, I then went and re-enabled the disabled service, and I did not get an email saying it was re-enabled. I checked the /var/log/maillog to make sure that it wasn't a mail delay. There simply was no email sent about the enable. I assume this isn't normal behavior :)
