[hobbit] no service-alert for all hosts

[Steinar M. Skúlason]

oops, accidentally sent that one, damn touch pad :)

what I meant to finish is you only mention which services you would like to
receive alerts for

HOST=hostname
   MAIL bill at microsoft.com RECOVERED REPEAT=60 COLOR=red SERVICE=http


If it's based on time of day or some other criteria, then I think that
hobbit-alerts.cfg resolves environment variales
Or just create a small sed script to change lines in hobbit-alerts.cfg ..
like :

#!/bin/bash
file="/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg"
OLDTEXT="SERVICE=.*$"
NEWTEXT="http,ssh"
if [ -f $file ]; then
   sed "s/^$OLDTEXT/$NEWTEXT/g" < $file >/tmp/$$ && mv /tmp/$$ $file
fi

This replaces everything from SERVICE to end of line with what you put in
NEWTEXT for all lines in the file

This will only change the first occurrence
sed "s/^$OLDTEXT/$NEWTEXT/" < $file >/tmp/$$ && mv /tmp/$$ $file

an easier sed search and relplace can also be just
sed  -e 's/*oldtext*/newtext/' <filename>


Hope this helps,
wasn't quite sure what you ment
