is it possible with Hobbit 4.2.0 to time alerts?
I was asked this by colleagues. They want something that
if a yellow alert is displayed for more than a configurable
time that Hobbit/XYmon sets the state of this alert to red.
Not possible today. It has not come up until now, but it's
an interesting idea.
It was just a thought since Hobbit/XYmon is recording everything
with a timestamp and this timestamp "just" needs to be evaluated.
I guess some people would also like a status to go blue if
it's been red for more than a day :-)
Please don't say that as it might be possible that my colleagues
are reading this mailing list too and then they are going to tease
me about integrating this kind of stuff :-/
Actually, it's not hard to make something go blue after a certain length of
time - I have that set up on a machine that's pinging some F5 BigIP group
members.
What you do is, get the list of red things using hobbitdboard, then pipe it
into a loop that checks the date/time. If it's greater than your designated
max, send a "disable until OK" message.
I'd post a copy of my script, except that the company laid me off at the
beginning of last week, and I didn't think to keep a copy at home... If
anyone's interested I can recreate it from scratch...
