[Xymon] Having some issues getting email alerts to come

[Larry Barber]

You need to specify a 'GROUP' in your alerts.cfg stanza:

#Rule and Recipient for all host cpu disk mem proc alerts
GROUP=SRMINFRA
SERVICE=cpu,disk,mem,proc TIME=W:0800:1600 RECOVERED
$SRMINFRA

I'm also not too sure that giving the macro and the group the same name is
such a good idea.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
