Right, there's currently no way to override the recipient list in the 'Alerts' section. Might be useful, though - I'll add it to the TODO list. > What about this way, would this configuration JUST email Harry for "baz" > alerts?: > > ======================================= > *** Alerts *** > to = /dev/null > from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] This syntax (/dev/null) probably won't work, but piping to eg. /bin/true might. to = |/bin/true > [snip] > # this will email just tom? > +++ foo > menu = foo > title = foo > host = foo > probe = FPing > alerts = bigloss,someloss,startloss > alertee = [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and so on.) Yes, I think this should work. Note that up to and including Smokeping 2.0.1 the smokeping_config document was missing explanations on some of the 'Alerts' section variables. This has been fixed in 2.0.2. The doc on the website is also up to date.
