parsing notifications.log 🔗 link

Has anyone made a script that parses hobbit's notifications.log to create a
report for the day?

I was thinking something along the lines of a perl script that parses the
notifications.log file to create a report that specifies what pages were
sent out, how much time passed before the alert recovered, etc

I didn't really want to reinvent the wheel and code the script if someone
else has already done so

So.. is there such a script in existence? And if so, can you share it ? :)

provide a report on pages that were sent out, but thus far I have been
getting by using the Event Log Report, which lets you make a report of
the number of red alerts (for which you assume a page was sent out),
including their duration etc.

Have you looked at the 4.3.0 beta??

   http://www.hswn.dk/beta/ <http://www.hswn.dk/beta/>;

There's a "Notification Report" in the Reports dropdown menu which 
might do what you want.

Hi Val,
thanks for bringing this subject up. It enabled me to rediscover the
notification log page in the reports. I had applied the allinone patch,
but had not been using the page.

The information in the log seems to indicate how long time passes from
alert notification until the alert recovery notification.  This is not
exactly the alert duration, but it is useful information, when there
is doubt about who was alerted and when, ahd who was notified of
recovery and when and the event duration as seen from the staff.

As an example of the notification log page in Hobbit, I enclose
a page for today.
