Re: [monit] mail format for resource succeeded messages...

[Martin Pala]

The configuration is OK.

The mail-format is shared for both failure and success mails - the same 
function is used to deliver both events which expands the mail-format 
template the same way.

I have tested now using cvs bits (upcoming monit-5.0) and it works fine. 
I used following template:

--8<--
set mail-format
  { from: address@hidden
    subject: TESTSUBJ $SERVICE
    message:
TESTBODY
$ACTION
$SERVICE
$DESCRIPTION}
--8<--

Then i killed one monitored service so monit sent failure event, 
restarted the service and sent success event ... both emails came with 
correct template.


What problem exactly you see? How the failure emails differ from success 
emails when it comes to mail-format template and where it doesn't match 
the expaction? What is the monit version?

Thanks,
Martin
