Re: Monit version 4.1.1

[Martin Pala]

The "alert" statement in the test rule defines *action*. The action is 
choice of "alert", "restart", "stop", "exec" and "unmonitor" - see Monit 
manual (http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/monit.html#service%20tests).

The alert's recipient however, is defined in standalone statement (see 
manual for complete syntax - 
http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/monit.html#alert%20messages):

  ALERT mail-address [{events}] [MAIL-FORMAT {mail-format}]

... where you can optionaly define (in addition to the recipient) events 
and mail-format.


=> following syntax should solve the problem:

 check host vega address 172.16.0.19
  if failed host vega port 80
    send "GET /imagenes/desk2.jpg"
    expect "OK"
    then alert
  alert address@hidden mail-format { subject: Desk2.jpg }


Cheers,
Martin
