customize the email body alerts for xymon

Use the script option in the alerts file.
At a previous client, we had a very specific problem we were monitoring for.
Instead of Xymon sending a standard alert email, I needed a set of detailed
instructions sent out, indicating how to resolve the issue.
I then created a script to send the custom email, instead.
It worked so well, the client asked me to use the technique for a number of
other problem areas.
Most popular use was to send instructions to helpdesk, explaining who to log
the call to, and the severity level.

Hi team,

Please suggest if there is any possibility to modify the body of the email
alert as below as my client needs such format.

So just one more favour,as i am not good at scripting.
We need the mail to be some thing line below. with the body displaying
alert and and TEXT having some presentable format with possible action
items.

Hi team,

Please look at the below alert for system <hostname> and take the action.

red Thu May 12 15:59:21 WST 2011 - Filesystems NOT ok
&red /var (98% used) has reached the PANIC level (90%)

Action: Remove the irrelevant files from </filesystem>

Hi,

Quick and dirty solution to get &red lines to be sent out only (tested
with xymon 4.2.2)
Basicly $BBALPHAMSG variable is the key here!


hobbit-alerts.cfg:
#-----------------------------------------------------
GROUP=TESTGROUP
        SCRIPT /path/to/custom_alerts.sh user-3a7b9bbe2bfd@xymon.invalid
#-----------------------------------------------------


custom_alerts.sh:
#-----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

BBALPHAMSG=`echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | /path/to/custom_grep.pl`;export
BBALPHAMSG

if [ $RECOVERED -eq 1 ]
        then
        RECOVERED="recovered"
        else
        RECOVERED=""
fi

echo "${BBALPHAMSG:0:300}" | mail -s "$BBHOSTNAME $BBSVCNAME -
$BBCOLORLEVEL $ACKCODE $RECOVERED $DOWNSECSMSG" $RCPT
exit 0
#-----------------------------------------------------


custom_grep.pl:
#-----------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

# searching for lines which has "&red"

while (<>) {

@maches=/&red .*\s/ig;

foreach $_ (@maches) {
        s/<.*?>//ig; # removing all the html tags
        print "$_ ";
        }

}

Hi team,

I need to customize the email body and pattern for the alerts receiving
from xymon.
As in the below alert mail for disk ,

   - we need the mail to display only the filesystem which is critical
   in individual mails and avoid displaying the the entire list of filesystems.
   - We need to customise the body of the mail and add some meaningful
   text unique for each alert,let me know if any sample script can be used for
   it.
   - in below mail /oracle/SRP/sapdata0 alert is shown in KB UNITS,
   can this be changed to show MB units free

Please suggest.thanks in advance
