add a reason of outage to a historical alert
list Asif Iqbal
Is it possible to add a reason of outage to a historical alert? The alert is not present anymore but would be nice if I could add the reason going back, for recording purpose. Thanks -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

I don't think so, we are doing monthly outage report using in house script with manual efforts to put in outage reason and outage impact etc. I think your questions can be submitted as RFE here, http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=128058&atid=710491 log it and hopefully someday someone will work on this RFE. tj

while I do the submit, is it possible to share how you do it manually? can the reason be viewed from within hobbit after you add the reason?

Sure. 1. we have a script run as a cron job to run at last day of each month. 2. the script scan through the data/hist/*.conn files and pick out outage in that month. 3. generate a csv file and send it to operations team. 4. use excel to import csv file and adding outage reason and impact columns.

Nope but I hope so too. programming effort is needed to achieve this goal.
