But how i know early the alert-id for the host/service e.g. cpu & conn for host1,host2 ?

NAME
        bb-ack.cgi - Hobbit CGI script to acknowledge alerts


        bb-ack.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters.


        NUMBER is the number identifying the host/service to be acknowledged.  It is included in all alert-messages sent out by Hobbit.

Or did i something missing ?

cheers,
