[SA-list] Sending of alerts

[Jason Passow]

I received an email saying that my incoming mail (using the new smtp2pop3 com check) was up without ever receiving one saying it was down.  I am including here the two portions of the log that are important here.    <snip Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:15 AM Checking Hudson telnet Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:15 AM Checking TELNET on 69.58.148.211 Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:15 AM TCP init IP unknown - connecting name Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:18 AM TCP check: Connection is not possible Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:38 AM ICQ: sending message to 58567038 Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:38 AM ICQ result: something went wrong while sending the message () Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:38 AM Checking Hudson telnet Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:38 AM Checking TELNET on 69.58.148.211 Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:38 AM TCP init IP unknown - connecting name Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:51:38 AM TCP check: Connection possible Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:52:38 AM Check cycle starts ( 162- 163) <snip Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:08 AM Hudson VPN Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:10 AM Hudson VPN OK with a successrate of 80% and an average roundtriptime of 215ms Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:11 AM ICQ: sending message to 58567038 Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:11 AM ICQ result: something went wrong while sending the message () Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:11 AM TO convert : (PID= 1),(PID= 4) to [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:11 AM Sending email message (Incoming mail is RUNNING) Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:27 AM Checking Pix telnet Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:27 AM Checking TELNET on 192.168.1.1 Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:27 AM TCP init IP unknown - connecting name Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:27 AM TCP check: Connection possible Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:27 AM Fill Plant VPN Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:53:28 AM Fill Plant VPN OK with a successrate of 80% and an average roundtriptime of 31.3ms Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:54:28 AM Check cycle starts ( 163- 164)   The ICQ message it is sending is for the incoming mail being down.  It is supposed to send the ICQ on 1 down and that works great.   The email alert which it sends when backup (in the second snippet) is configured to send “when 2 times down and every 5 down cycles thereafter –And when back up”.  Yet I received an alert that it was back up after only one down (meaning it should not have sent me a down since that is set to 2 downs.)    There was some discussion of this several weeks ago and I said I would write with appropriate information next time it happened.  J   Jason Passow Mississippi Welders Supply www.mwsco.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone:  (507) 454-5231 Fax:  (507) 454-8104   God, help me to finish everything I sta
