Questions about enable/disable (NOTICE) messages

[Charles Jones -X (charljon - Cisco Learning Institute at Cisco)]

1. When I disable a host in hobbit, it says it was disabled by
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
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 :)
