customize the email body alerts for xymon

I have written an email script which displays as html (of course you have to have a html enabled email client). It checks for individual services and displays a fixed message, could also add checks for specific hosts to. Here is a sample (not sure if html will display properly thru here) Xymon Alert (red) : files utnfrc01.stanwell.com Files on server testserver.stanwell.com have not been updated recently testserver.stanwell.com:files red [124238] red Files status at Tue May 17 04:05:58 EST 2011 [red]/stanwell/data/mms/loader/Reports/STANWELL_P5MIN_201105170410_20110517040540.zip</xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=utnfrc01.stanwell.com&SECTION=file:/stanwell/data/mms/loader/Reports/STANWELL_P5MIN_201105170410_20110517040540.zip> File is missing File is missing [yellow]/stanwell/data/scada/sps/incoming/unit2/MTBIN.DAT</xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=utnfrc01.stanwell.com&SECTION=file:/stanwell/data/scada/sps/incoming/unit2/MTBIN.DAT> File is missing [green]/stanwell/data/mms/batcher/Holding</xymon-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=utnfrc01.stanwell.com&SECTION=file:/stanwell/data/mms/batcher/Holding> From: xymon-bounces at xymon.com [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] On Behalf Of Vernon Everett Sent: Monday, 16 May 2011 9:21 PM To: sonal kumar Cc: Xymon mailinglist Subject: Re: [Xymon] customize the email body alerts for xymon Use the script option in the alerts file. At a previous client, we had a very specific problem we were monitoring for. Instead of Xymon sending a standard alert email, I needed a set of detailed instructions sent out, indicating how to resolve the issue. I then created a script to send the custom email, instead. It worked so well, the client asked me to use the technique for a number of other problem areas. Most popular use was to send instructions to helpdesk, explaining who to log the call to, and the severity level.

Bug when acking alert twice
by Johan.Sjoberg＠deltamanagement.se 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi. Today we noticed that there is a bug when acknowledging alerts twice (in a short time). Me and a colleague acknowledged the same alert within 25 seconds. I acked it for 1 hour (via mail) and he acked it for five hours (via web interface). The web interface showed that the alert was acknowledged for 5 hours (Next update:...), but after 1 hour, SMS alerts started coming. Then he acked the alert again (from web GUI), and the alerts stopped and the "Next update" time was updated. We have configured SMS to repeat every 15 minutes.

Windows 64bit Dell openmanage script
by stella＠rider.edu 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hi, I got the old SystemCheck.vbs script from the repository and found a reference to make some changes for 64bit OS (2008 R2 here). The obvious one was the registry settings and are good, however the Memory and NICs tests don't produce the correct output (Memory is blank, and NICs are just comments). Note that I have not tested yet the physical and virtual storage ones. I briefly looked into the Memory test code and can't see any obvious reasons as to why it's not working. Does anyone have a more up to date script? Running OMSA 6.5.0 here. TIA... -- °((( = (( ===°°° ((( ================================================

newbe questions

I have gotten Xymon installed and can see the web pages. I have found that I can add servers to the hosts.cfg file and they will show up but I can't seem to separate them in page-->subpage. Also none of my links are working. Is there a blog or support page that I can go to and maybe find a other newbes that have gotten answers to basic questions answered?

hobbit-alerts.cfg - Can HOST be within PAGE?
by Ed.Stuart＠austinenergy.com 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

In the hobbit-alerts.cfg file can a HOST line be withing a PAGE line to select particular hosts based on what page they are on? For example, if we want to mail alerts for all the servers on the SERVERS page that begin with the letters d or t and only the ones that are on the SERVERS page would the following entries work? PAGE=SERVERS HOST=%[dt].*\.ourdomain\.com MAIL $ADMINS SERVICE=disk,cpu,memory,procs DURATION>1h COLOR=red RECOVERED REPEAT=8h FORMAT=PLAIN TIME=W:700:1900 **Please apply a generous amount of all the usual disclaimers here.**

Dear Xymon-Team, I've been working with your monitoring tool for a while now and I like the all the functions that it provides. The information design seems to hold potential for improvement though. Since I'm not only working as a software developer, but also as an Information Designer, I was wondering whether you would like some support in that matter? My vision would be to improve the GUI by using css and html only. Keeping things simple. The possibilities are already huge with those tools and would not require flash or something like that. Please let me know if you are interested. I can provide portfolio material of my previous work upon interest. Kind regards, Christian W.
