[Xymon] Issue with alerts and DISPLAYGROUP

[Tom Moore]

use "GROUP" instead of "DISPLAYGROUP"
Define your group in analysis.cfg for something i.e.

DISK /var 95 99 GROUP=Sharepoint

Then in alerts.cfg

GROUP=Sharepoint COLOR=yellow TIME=W:0700:1700
MAIL sharepointadmins at hotmail.com<mailto:sharepointadmins at hotmail.com> REPEAT=365d

Hi,

I'm using version 4.3.10 of Xymon and I'm experiencing issues with the DISPLAYGROUP parameter in alerts.cfg.

The following is working well:

DISPLAYGROUP=Sharepoint COLOR=yellow TIME=W:0700:1700
MAIL sharepointadmins at hotmail.com<mailto:sharepointadmins at hotmail.com> REPEAT=365d

but the following is not working (not generating alerts):

DISPLAYGROUP=Sharepoint COLOR=yellow EXSERVICE=cpu TIME=W:0700:1700
MAIL sharepointadmins at hotmail.com<mailto:sharepointadmins at hotmail.com> REPEAT=365d

If I try to specify a service with SERVICE instead of EXSERVICE, I get the same behavior.

SERVICE and EXSERVICE work as expected in the following scenario (but of course I'm missing the group filtering):

HOST=* COLOR=yellow EXSERVICE=cpu TIME=W:0700:1700
MAIL sharepointadmins at hotmail.com<mailto:sharepointadmins at hotmail.com> REPEAT=365d

I think it's a bug, unless I missed something in the documentation.

Thanks!
