[hobbit] RE: Troubleshooting Alerts -- Having Problems

[James Wade]

The problem with no SMS notification was a slow email
server. So, SMS works fine. However, the message is way to short.

For example, if it is alerting on a disk threshold, then
all I get on the SMS is the server name, and the test name
that is failing. I don't actually get the partition (filesystem)
that exceeded the threshold.

If I use PLAIN or just leave it at default, I get to much
information and it overruns the poor little cell phone.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks...james

So, I tried this in hobbit-alerts.cfg

MAIL os-primary-pager FORMAT=sms REPEAT=15 COLOR=RED DURATION>5m DURATION<35
RECOVERED

The notifications log said it was sent to the phone.
(os-primary-pager is in the mail aliases file)

However, the phone never received the messages. Prior to putting
in the FORMAT=sms, it sent pages fine. 

Thanks...James
