[Mon-devel] Mon's Acknowledge system flawed?

[Augie S. <aug...@gm...>]

It seems that mon's ack system is flawed at least if it is used how
the examples show multiple hosts in a watch group.

Ack'ing an alert acks the service in the group, not the host in the
group that is alerting, so for example if you have a host group for
your web servers and you watch http; if http alerts on one of the
hosts and you ack it, the rest of your web servers could go down and
you would never know about it because the other host's http alerts
would be suppressed.

Is this expected behavior? Am I wrong to think that this is a flaw?

It seems like the only way to use mon and not be bitten by this is to
only have one host per host group.

I know the mon project is pretty much not maintained anymore, so if I
don't get any response back I won't be surprised, but I thought I
would float this question out there and see if I get any responses.
