Has anyone come up with a custom paging script that will only page out

I have a custom script, but it send out information based on the global
variables available at script runtime.   Check the help documents and see
what is available in the global variables.

Here's what I use for short, concise alerts:

use strict;
my $Subject = "Hobbit Alert! \u$ENV{BBCOLORLEVEL} light :

my $Body = "Hobbit Monitoring Alert!\n\nA \u$ENV{BBCOLORLEVEL} light
condition has been detected for SERVICE=$ENV{BBSVCNAME} on
HOST=$ENV{BBHOSTNAME}";
SendMail($Subject, $Body);
sub SendMail {
        my($Subject, $Body) = @_;
        open( MAIL, '| /usr/lib/sendmail -F "Hobbit" -t');
        print MAIL  "To: $ENV{RCPT}\n";
        print MAIL  "Subject: $Subject\n\n" if defined $Subject;
        print MAIL  "$Body\n" if defined $Body;
        close(MAIL);

Called like this (example) from hobbit-alerts.cfg:

Subject: [hobbit] custom paging script


Has anyone come up with a custom paging script that will only page out
certain information?

Hello
 
In the file hobbitclient-sunos.sh the FSTYPES entry can lost filesystems with long mountpoints.
 
Happen here with vxfs filesystem;
 
$/bin/df -n -l
/                  : ufs
/devices           : devfs
/system/contract   : ctfs
/proc              : proc
/dev/vx/rdmp       : tmpfs
/unshared/AA04/oracle: vxfs
/unshared/AA04/oracle/data1: vxfs
/unshared/AA04/oracle/data2: vxfs
/unshared/AA04/oracle/data3: vxfs

with the awk '{print $3}' command in FSTYPES the vxfs ist missed because there is no space.
 
Solution for us; adding seperator to awk -F":" '{print $2}'
 
Regards
Roland

I noticed your script sends out a page with a yellow and red response.  But
how would you go about tweaking it to be able to send the recovery message
also.

 
Thanks,

 
Josh

Actually, it will send out pages for that as well, since the actual paging
is still controlled by hobbit-alerts.cfg.  The part where it is grep'ing for
red and yellow is just to get the particular item in a non-green state.  For
instance, if you are monitoring 10 processes on a machine, instead of
showing ALL processes, including the green ones, only the ones in a
non-green state will show up with this script.  It's actually looking for
"&yellow" or "&red".

The error message will look like:
Subject = !HB [12345]
Body = machine.procs red
&red someproc (found 0, req. 1 or more)

And the recovery messages will look something like this:
Subject = !HB [-1]
Body = machine.procs red

If you wanted to use something else instead of "-1" to indicate recovery,
you could add something like the following in place of the msg=<blah> lines:
if [ ${ACKCODE} -eq "-1" ] then; msg="Recovered";
else msg=` <blah>`; msg="\n${msg}";
done

And I am not getting anything when a recovery happens, at least on my
if_stat column.  That is the only thing that is going up and down at the
moment.

 
Thanks
