Hello all,
I have a requirement to monitor a number of log files on one system and to page different people depending on what it sees in the different files. From what I can tell, this functionality is not available. Am I wrong here?
My thoughts on setting this up would be to clone and modify the existing bb-msgs feeder script to accept a different config file and report as a different test and then through hobbit, set up alerts to the different group for the additional test.
Is this a sound approach or is there a better way?
We have exactely same requirements.
We did clone bb-msgs when we were using Big Brother and have not yet integrated this feature on our Hobbit system.
I don't think there is a better to this at the moment but maybe Henrik could think about this ;-)
I have been thinking about this, actually :-) It is one case of several where it would be useful to direct alerts triggered by one status to different people.
Think disk-alerts, or processes, or web applications.
This was discussed briefly back in November, see the thread starting with
http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2005/11/msg00159.html
Let me just say that it is being worked on.
Regards,
Henrik
