Re: [webmin-l] Question about the MON monitoring component

[Tim C. <TC...@Bu...>]

Here's a snippet of my mon config (posted below).

=20

The man output for the redistribute option is:

=20

redistribute alert [arg...]

   A service may have one redistribute option, which is a special form
of an alert definition.

   This alert will be called on every service status update, even
sequential success status

   updates.  This can be used to integrate Mon with another monitoring
system, or to link together

   multiple Mon servers via an alert script that generates Mon traps.
See the "ALERT PROGRAMS"

   section above for a list of the parameters mon will pass
automatically to alert programs.

=20

So basically, I'm using the command "redistribute trap.alert
mainmonitor" to send whatever the=20

latest status check (via trap.alert) is for each of my services to my
main monitoring server

(with a hostname of mainmonitor).

Hi Tim,
This looks like a bug in  Webmin, caused by a new directive in the mon
configuration file that it cannot handle yet. If you could send me your
mon.cf file, I'd be glad to update Webmin to fix it..
