{bb} Alert Notifications

["Smith, Robert" <Robert.Smith10@xerox.com>]

I am running in a Win2000 environment and recently configured my bbwarnrules.cfg to send out a notice for all servers listed.

 

Syntax: 

*;;*;;*;*;bbadmin@localhost (< -- where my email is substituted here)

 

I wanted to fine tune so that I only receive alerts for certain hosts and not any of the others.....so I used this....

 

host1 host2 host3 host4;;*;;*;*;bbadmin@localhost (where host = my actual hostname)

 

I am still receiving alert notices for the other services, etc that are going into the red state. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to exclude all of my other hosts as well?

 

Thanks-
