Which I removed, as mentioned in my second post.

You still aren’t listening, and you aren’t reading the page we are discussing. It very clearly says "send an alert". It DOES NOT say that it generates an event that would match some type in the list below. It says it sends an alert. Those are its exact words. https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/#ACTION The reason there’s no connection between these two parts of the manual in my mind is BECAUSE THERE IS NO CONNECTION. The words do not say there is a connection. What you keep saying (if I understand you correctly) is that the alert is generated by the original event (the check failure) and sent at that time, BEFORE the restart. Then the restart happens, and CONTRARY TO THE VERY CLEAR TEXT IN THE “Service Texts” section, an alarm is not generated when the restart occurs. WHICH IS CONFUSING BECAUSE THE SECTION VERY CLEARLY STATES THAT IT DOES. Then another event occurs which is observation of restored function, for which an event is triggered, and an alarm is generated. Dude, it’s RIGHT THERE in plain english. If you want to say that actions taken generate no additional alarms, then MODIFY THE TEXT THAT SAYS THE WORDS “and send an alert”. Stop pissing off potential customers who read your very explicit words and point out that it doesn’t do what it says. If you want to say that something creates and event of a certain type to be handled by an event handler, then say that. But when you say “send an alert” you are making a very clear and specific statement about an action that you aren’t actually taking. -- Jo Rhett +1 (415) 999-1798 Skype: jorhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects. -- To unsubscribe: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
