Re: local alerts

[address@hidden]

Hi,

the combination of global and local alert should work, provided it's not the 
same email address.

You can also add second "check file" for the same file, but the service name 
must be unique (it doesn't have to match the filename), for example:

--8<--
check file mylog_error with path /mylog.log
    ...

check file mylog_exception with path /mylog.log
    ...
--8<--

Best regards,
Martin
