[Xymon] e-mail alerts for a specific log? (Solaris 10)

[Neil Simmonds]

Nick, 

Digging into it a bit further, you could use the GROUP=groupname
parameter in analysis.cfg.

i.e. 
LOG %application "%Restore failed for Server*" COLOR=red
GROUP=serveradmins

If you set a groupname on each LOG alert in analysis.cfg then you can
use that in alerts.cfg to direct the alert.

So alerts.cfg could be something like this,

GROUP=serveradmins SERVICE=msgs
	MAIL whoever at wherever.com

Or 

HOST=servername GROUP=appladmins SERVICE=msgs
	MAIL whoeverelse at wherever.com 

That way alerts would only be sent to the relevant group.
