Hi all!

Just a follow up newbie question.

How can I make hobbit to send me alerts with icon like that alert below?
I am receiving alerts like this:

&yellow Warnings in <a href="/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=HOST&amp;SECTION=msgs:/var/adm/messages">/var/adm/messages</a>

Hobbit 4.2.0 w/ all-in-one patch instaled in Fedora Core 6

Pretty sure you'll have to create a custom script and put in the HTML code
in the data section of your email.  To my knowledge you can't simply stick
in text in the alert Hobbit sends.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Make a custom script; can someone share me the their script and teach me how to configure it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ryan,
 
Here's what I use, in three parts:
 
FIRST:  The mail script /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail

	#!/opt/csw/bin/bash
	#
	# Script get the following environment variables pre-defined so
	# that they can send a meaningful alert:
	#
	#    BBCOLORLEVEL  - The current color of the status
	#    BBALPHAMSG    - The full text of the status log triggering
the alert
	#    ACKCODE       - The "cookie" that can be used to
acknowledge the alert
	#    RCPT          - The recipient, from the SCRIPT entry
	#    BBHOSTNAME    - The name of the host that the alert is
about
	#    MACHIP        - The IP-address of the host that has a
problem
	#    BBSVCNAME     - The name of the service that the alert is
about
	#    BBSVCNUM      - The numeric code for the service. From
SVCCODES definition.
	#    BBHOSTSVC     - HOSTNAME.SERVICE that the alert is about.
	#    BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS - As BBHOSTSVC, but dots in the hostname
replaced with commas
	#    BBNUMERIC     - A 22-digit number made by BBSVCNUM, MACHIP
and ACKCODE.
	#    RECOVERED     - Is "1" if the service has recovered.
	#    EVENTSTART    - Timestamp when the current status (color)
began
	#    DOWNSECS      - Number of seconds the service has been
down.
	#    DOWNSECSMSG   - When recovered, holds the text "Event
duration : N" where
	#                    N is the DOWNSECS value.
	#    CFID          - Line-number in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file
that caused the script to be invoked.
	#                    Can be useful when troubleshooting alert
configuration rules
	 
	#
	# Minumum hobbit-alerts.cfg entry -
	# SCRIPT /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail support FORMAT=PLAIN
	#
	 
	if [ ${RECOVERED} = 1 ]
	then
	        export BBCOLORLEVEL="RECOVERED"
	        export BBCOLOR="green"
	else
	        export BBCOLOR=$BBCOLORLEVEL
	fi
	 
	# Convert plain line breaks to HTML breaks
	 
	# export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed
'/>$/!s/$/<BR>/'`"
	 
	# Convert Hobbit colour tags to embedded image tags
	 
	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&blue/<img

	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&clear/<img

href="&">&</a>|g'`"
	 
	# Run Perl script to generate email
	 
	/opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail.pl > /dev/null 2>&1

SECOND:  The perl script to format and send the message
/opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail.pl

	#!/opt/csw/bin/perl -w
	 
	use strict;
	use MIME::Lite;
	 
	my $rcpt = $ENV{'RCPT'};
	my $bbhostsvc = $ENV{'BBHOSTSVC'};
	my $bbcolorlevel = $ENV{'BBCOLORLEVEL'};
	my $bbalphamsg = $ENV{'BBALPHAMSG'};
	 
	my $subject = $bbhostsvc . " " . $bbcolorlevel;
	my $htmldata = join("",
	        "<BODY BGCOLOR=\"#FFFFFF\" TEXT=\"#000000\"
LINK=\"#0000FF\" ALINK =\"#FF0000\" VLINK=\"#800080\">\n",
	        "<FONT FACE=\"Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica\" SIZE=\"3\">\n",
	        "<PRE>\n",

	        "</FONT>\n",
	        "</BODY>"
	);
	 
	my $msg = MIME::Lite->new
	(
	        Subject => $subject,
	        To      => $rcpt,
	        Type    => 'multipart/related'
	);
	 
	$msg->attach
	(
	        Type    => 'text/html',
	        Data    => $htmldata,
	);
	 
	if($htmldata =~ m/blue.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'blue.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/blue.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/clear.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'clear.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/clear.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/green.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'green.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/green.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/purple.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'purple.gif',

	if($htmldata =~ m/red.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'red.gif', Path
=> '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/red.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/yellow.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'yellow.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/yellow.gif')}
	 
	$msg->send();

THIRD:  Configure your hobbit-alerts.cfg lines like this:

	SCRIPT /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail user-6560a5452968@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT

You will obviously need to adjust all of the paths to suit your
installation!  And don''t forget to check you have the MIME::Lite perl
module and whatever other dependencies it requires.

Andy.

Have a read of the hobbit-alerts man page to get you staretd on how alert
scripts work.

Your script will need to read in the message from the environment variable
and do a replace of all the found &colour strings with a URL to each of the
coloured gifs from the hobbit web server. You may need to ensure the message
is sent as a valid html message etc so it works in your email client.

You will also need to reproduce the subject line etc using the env variables
that hobbit defines.

Cheers

Phil

    Pretty sure you'll have to create a custom script and put in the HTML code in the data section of your email.  To my knowledge you can't simply stick in text in the alert Hobbit sends.

      #    RECOVERED     - Is "1" if the service has recovered.
      #    EVENTSTART    - Timestamp when the current status (color) began

    You will obviously need to adjust all of the paths to suit your installation!  And don''t forget to check you have the MIME::Lite perl module and whatever other dependencies it requires.

      Pretty sure you'll have to create a custom script and put in the HTML code in the data section of your email.  To my knowledge you can't simply stick in text in the alert Hobbit sends.

Hi again Ryan,
 
Are you testing via the standard hobbit alerting or from a shell?  If
the latter, it may be because the RECOVERED environment is not set.
 
You could try changing the entry on line 30 to read ${RECOVERED:=1} so
that it has a value of 1 if it is not set (although you will probably
then run into further problems with BBCOLORLEVEL and BBALPHAMSG as
well!).
 
Otherwise, you will probably have to set the first line to "#!/bin/bash
-x" to get more detailed output of what the script is up to in the logs.

			Pretty sure you'll have to create a custom
script and put in the HTML code in the data section of your email.  To
my knowledge you can't simply stick in text in the alert Hobbit sends.

  Hi again Ryan,

  Are you testing via the standard hobbit alerting or from a shell?  If the latter, it may be because the RECOVERED environment is not set.

  You could try changing the entry on line 30 to read ${RECOVERED:=1} so that it has a value of 1 if it is not set (although you will probably then run into further problems with BBCOLORLEVEL and BBALPHAMSG as well!).

  Otherwise, you will probably have to set the first line to "#!/bin/bash -x" to get more detailed output of what the script is up to in the logs.

  Andy.

      Hi Ryan,

       
      Here's what I use, in three parts:

       
      FIRST:  The mail script /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail

        #!/opt/csw/bin/bash
        #
        # Script get the following environment variables pre-defined so
        # that they can send a meaningful alert:
        #
        #    BBCOLORLEVEL  - The current color of the status
        #    BBALPHAMSG    - The full text of the status log triggering the alert
        #    ACKCODE       - The "cookie" that can be used to acknowledge the alert
        #    RCPT          - The recipient, from the SCRIPT entry
        #    BBHOSTNAME    - The name of the host that the alert is about
        #    MACHIP        - The IP-address of the host that has a problem
        #    BBSVCNAME     - The name of the service that the alert is about
        #    BBSVCNUM      - The numeric code for the service. From SVCCODES definition.
        #    BBHOSTSVC     - HOSTNAME.SERVICE that the alert is about.
        #    BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS - As BBHOSTSVC, but dots in the hostname replaced with commas
        #    BBNUMERIC     - A 22-digit number made by BBSVCNUM, MACHIP and ACKCODE.
        #    RECOVERED     - Is "1" if the service has recovered.
        #    EVENTSTART    - Timestamp when the current status (color) began
        #    DOWNSECS      - Number of seconds the service has been down.
        #    DOWNSECSMSG   - When recovered, holds the text "Event duration : N" where
        #                    N is the DOWNSECS value.
        #    CFID          - Line-number in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file that caused the script to be invoked.
        #                    Can be useful when troubleshooting alert configuration rules

      THIRD:  Configure your hobbit-alerts.cfg lines like this:

        SCRIPT /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail user-6560a5452968@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT

      You will obviously need to adjust all of the paths to suit your installation!  And don''t forget to check you have the MIME::Lite perl module and whatever other dependencies it requires.

       
      HTH,

      Andy.
