[Xymon] Alert script "BBCOLORLEVEL" is red when recovered

27 Aug 2020 · *INFO*

      I did a lot of searching and tried all sorts of different variations with no success. So I gave up on it unless someone has a known functioning line of code they can share.
Thanks,
Kris Springer

Hi Kris,
maybe you should try
elif [[ $BBALPHAMSG =~ INFO ]]
and see if that works.
Cheers,
Torsten

Thanks Ralph, I got the 'Recovered' emails working now.  On to the
'Info' emails!  I've tried added an elif line to look for the word INFO
in the message content, but it doesn't seem to work.  Any thoughts?
Here's the line I'm using.
elif [[ $BBALPHAMSG = *INFO* ]];
then
echo "Info found"

Call me crazy if you like, but in the alerts.cfg file, in the list of
environment variables passed to the script, it says:
 #    BBCOLORLEVEL  - The color of the alert: "red", "yellow" or
"purple"
... [snip] ...
#    RECOVERED     - Is "1" if the service has recovered.
So, um, just check $RECOVERED ??
 if [ $RECOVERED -eq 1 ]; then
      # send recovery email
 fi

I suspect $BBCOLORLEVEL is set to the color of the original
condition.
According to the man page for alerts.cfg, if the word &COLOR& is
in the recipient parameter, it is replaced by the colour of the
alert. This might give the updated colour after the alert
recovered, instead of the alert colour.

Or, you can use something like this:

NEWCOL=`$XYMON $XYMSRV "xymondboard host=$BBHOSTNAME
test=$BBSVCNAME fields=color"`

Cheers

    I know this is old, but it's still an issue.  I have a script
    that uses
    $BBCOLORLEVEL that works great, except the RECOVERED messages
    come in as
    Red.  They don't say 'Recovered', they say 'Red'.  I'm not
    much of a
    coder, but is there perhaps some way to have my bash script
    figure out
    if the message is a 'recovered' message and print that as the
    BBCOLORLEVEL instead of printing Red?
