How to get data when alert started and during alert data changes.
eg. I am monitoring mysql slow queries which gets displayed on browser and yellow alert gets triggered. During yellow state the data changes, i see queries goes down and up. But in report i see only the data when alert started and when it recovered.
So how do get the data which changes in between alerts situation.
By default, xymond only creates a snapshot (specifically: sends a copy of the current client report for a $HOST over the 'clichg' channel to the xymond_hostdata listener) when an ALERT threshold is crossed.
I'd considered a patch that would cause xymond to send a "spurious" clichg message on a regular basis while something is in an alert state persistently (eg, every half-hour snapshots), but this is really something that would have to be highly configurable for different installations...
A hack that can be done now is to create an otherwise-ignored status test for all hosts (eg, "tied"). On whatever frequency you want, send a "red" status in for the host on this test, followed by a green or clear status. This will cause xymond to save a snapshot in which should be visible from either the 'tied' service history dot, and/or an event log report for the host generally.
