Feature Request: Notification Log Report
list T.J. Yang
By displaying raw notification.log text file, I can quickly confirm if bb server really send email alert to the resolver group's pager. I found this is quite useful in for system monitor administrator to make sure bb server's bbwarnrules.cfg is functional. Can hobbit server add a notification report under "Reports" ? Regards tj

You mean you don't trust the alert summary on the "info" column page?

I've had a task for sometime now to generate an "Incident" reporting feature, where you get a chronological summary of what happened during an incident: When it started, when it was acknowledged, what alerts were sent out, when it recovered. This basically means picking out data from several logs, including the notifications logfile. Would that cover your needs also? Regards, Henrik

This exceed my request, even better. I need a page to see the log of all alerts and their paging/email got sent at what time. It is good for incident reivew.

Hi
see the "router" keyword in the bb-hosts(5) manpage :
route:router1,router2,....
This tag is taken from the "fping.sh" script, and is used by bbtest-net when run with the "--ping" option to enable ping testing.
The router1,router2,... is a comma-separated list of hosts elsewhere in the bb-hosts file. You cannot have any spaces in the list - separate hosts with commas.
This tag changes the color reported for a ping check that fails, when one or more of the hosts in the "route" list is also down. A "red" status becomes "yellow" - other colors are unchanged. The status message will include information about the hosts in the router-list that are down, to aid tracking down which router is the root cause of the problem.
Note: Internally, the ping test will still be handled as "failed", and therefore any other tests run for this host will report a status of "clear".
