I'd use a script to handle the alerting in that case. You can grab the 
current status-data from Xymon using the bb 'hobbitdlog' command, so
you can include those data in your alert message. See 
http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/xymon-alerts.html for details on alert
scripts.


Something like this - completely untested:


#!/bin/sh

# $BBALPHAMSG contains the alert message text. Save it to
# a file, then scan it for lines beginning with "&red" to get 
# the problem hosts. The grab the log-status for these hosts
# and append it to the alert message. Finally, send the
# alert.

echo "$BBALPHAMSG" >/tmp/alert.txt
egrep '^&red|^&yellow' /tmp/alert.txt | while read L
do
   LOGID=`echo $L | awk '{print $2}'`  # Get the host.status ID
   # Append the problem details to the alert text
   echo "$LOGID details"           >>/tmp/alert.txt
   $BB $BBDISP "hobbitdlog $LOGID" >>/tmp/alert.txt
done
# Send out the alert
mail -s "Lustre filesystem $BBCOLORLEVEL alert" $RCPT </tmp/alert.txt
exit 0


In hobbit-alerts.cfg, use

   HOST=AtlasLustre TEST=lustre-atlas
      SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/lustrealert.sh admin (at) foo.com
