sorry to make up this name "sublevel alerts", correct me if there is a better term you think.

What:

sublevel alerts: to be able to send out alerts to differrent owners of different monitored disk partitions or processes.

Why: We found it is needed to enable the owner of a process or disk partition as the main recepient of the alerts. This way we can hold owner responsible on using the disk partition wisely. currently BB can only send out alerts to both unixteam and oracleteam when disk or process threshold reached. (see example below).

Example:

[bbs ] tail bb-dftab.DIST

ANY PARTITIONS NOT EXPLICITLY LISTED HERE WILL

USE THE VALUES SET BY DFWARN & DFPANIC SET IN

bbdef.sh. DEFAULTS IN bbdef.sh ARE

WARNING AT 90% AND PANIC AT 95%

You can also use values > 100 to make it always green

/usr:92:98 : unixteam at test.com /home:88:93: engineergrp at test.com /db:100:101: oracleteam at test.com [ilad4001|bbs ] tail bb-proctab.DIST

If you put a process with no directives then it is

test condition is that at least 1 process must be running

It keeps backward compatibility

: sshd : localhost: sendmail;<=2 bbrun !xntpdd : httpd;>=16: unixteam at test.com localhost : :snmpd "sleep 30;<6": unixteam at test.com www.bobo.com : inetd : bbd: unixteam at test.com www: inetdd : bbdd: unixteam at test.com llocalhsot: lsntr:: oracleteam at test.com [|bbs ]

Question: Can hobbit consider to support this feature ? Is there work around you know for existing BB users ?

Thanks for your time
