[Xymon] Xymon Alerts conf file

[Valentin, Robert]

Hi Bruce:

Thanks for your rapid response. The server name was identical on both files.

What really resolved the problem was a stop and start of the Xymon services and then
suddenly the emails started to come in.

I really appreciate your help and your time.

Thanks,
Robert

A couple of things:


1)      The host name in the alerts.cfg needs to match the host name in the hosts.cfg.   If hosts.cfg has a domain, then alerts needs, it.

2)      You have no COLOR= parm specified in your alert, so it will not when to send an alert.  If you add COLOR=red after SERVICE=cpu, …  the alert process will know to send an alert when one of those services turns red.

Subject: [Xymon] Xymon Alerts conf file

Hi:

I’m Robert Valentin and we installed the Xymon server on a Linux machine and a client on a mainframe running VSE
and the browser on the Linux server is reporting OK the alerts (yellow and red) for both hosts defined on the hosts.cfg.

The mainframe system programmer bring down a CICS and create a 90% disk utilization and is reported fine on the webpage.

I configure the sendmail service to received alerts thru emails defined on the alerts.cfg but I’m only receiving emails from
the Xymon Server not for the client alerts from VSETEST.

Here’s the alerts.cfg parameters set.

[cid:image003.png at 01D29D7E.4D2A1790]

I execute the xymoncmd xymond_alert –test VSETEST disk and it founds a red alert on disk validate the rule to use on the alerts.cfg
file but no email is received.

Does hostnames on the hosts.cfg need a the domain ID? Instead of VSETEST do I need to change the line to VSETEST.firstbank.local?

Also try leaving only the HOST=VSETEST and inactivate the HOST=FBA06120.firstbank.local and no results.

I will appreciate any help on this matter.

Thanks,
Robert
