I am trying to simplify the hobbit-alerts.cfg file.
I understand how to do a simple macro.
In my case, I will have something like:
n Oncall person available from 6pm-6am M-F
n Oncall person available all day Sat and Sun
n During business hours, normal alerts will be done
n During business hours, and no response from the appropriate people,
after 30 minutes, notify the oncall person
n Also, escalate to manager after 60 minutes
n Also, escalate to the managers manager after 90 minutes
EXAMPLE ENTRY:
Host=abc.widget.com recovered
# Sat & Sun all day
SCRIPT /.../oncall.sh <list-name> TIME="0,6:0001:2400" REPEAT=365d
# Early morning M-F
SCRIPT /.../oncall.sh <list-name> TIME="1-5:0001:0559" REPEAT=365d
# Late evening M-F
SCRIPT /.../oncall.sh <list-name> TIME="1-5:1801:2400" REPEAT=365d
# Normal business hours M-F 6am-6pm
MAIL user-2dd359ee113b@xymon.invalid TIME="1-5:0600:1800" REPEAT=365d
# Normal business hours but no response - send to oncall
SCRIPT= /.../oncall.sh <list-name> TIME="1-5:0600:1800" REPEAT=365d
DURATION>30m
# ESCALATION any time
MAIL user-7821a9b41575@xymon.invalid REPEAT=365d DURATION>59m
MAIL user-521e68376445@xymon.invalid REPEAT=365d DURATION>89m
I don't want to cut and paste this type of alert list for hundreds of
servers/devices.
Is there a way to consolidate into a single entry to keep the
hobbit-alerts.cfg file manageable?
oncall.sh does a lookup in a table for the oncall person for that date
range.
Thanks,
Tom Schmitt
