[SOLVED] Matcher not working

[GattoDispettoso]

Hi, just installed 8.1.4 and configured targets and matchers.
The default-matchers works fine and email are sent when the backups ends


Then i have added a new matcher with the same target but with this only rule:


email is not sent ( note i have enabled all type of notifications).
Only the default-matcher email is sent correctly.
What's wrong?

Thank you for answers.

Would you mind sharing your /etc/pve/notifications.cfg and /etc/pve/jobs.cfg ?
Does the "Fabrizio" target work when pressing the "Test" button?

The target works properly. Now i have made a test: disabled the default-matcher the report was:



when with the two matchers enabled:


seems that one matcher exclude the other one. This behaviour must be investigated: what happens if the first don't allow notifications of errors and the second, has the error notify enabled? does the first notification event triggered exclude the subsequent others?

Matchers are independent of each other. We check which matchers match a notification, and for those which match, we assemble a set of targets which we then notify. If a matcher is disabled, it will not be checked when checking for matches. If a target is disabled, it not notified, even if a matcher matches.

Would you mind sharing your /etc/pve/notifications.cfg and /etc/pve/jobs.cfg? Then it's a bit easier for me to understand and recreate your problem. Thanks!

Lukas, here the content of the files as requested

Thanks for the file contents.
As mentioned before, the matchers do no influence each other. However, if you have multiple matchers that notify the same target, the target will only be notified once.

For instance:

• matcher-a notifies target-a, target-b
• matcher-b notifies target-b, target-c

If a notification matches both matchers, then target-a, target-b and target-c will be notified (target-b only once)

Thanks for reply Lukas, i suspected a similar behaviour in a precedent post..Now you have perfectly described the mechanism.
