Can someone tell me the format of adding qpage messages into the hobbit-alerts.cfg please? I have qpage working, and sending pages from CLI, but the following line in hobbit-alerts.cfg is not working for me:
SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/qpage userid FORMAT=TEXT
TIA
Al Jeffcoat
I also use qpage, but have a wrapper script like this:
#!/opt/csw/bin/bash # # Script: /home/hobbit/bin/qpage.sh # # Script get the following environment variables pre-defined so # that they can send a meaningful alert: # # BBALPHAMSG - The full text of the status log triggering the alert # ACKCODE - The "cookie" that can be used to acknowledge the alert # RCPT - The recipient, from the SCRIPT entry # BBHOSTNAME - The name of the host that the alert is about # MACHIP - The IP-address of the host that has a problem # BBSVCNAME - The name of the service that the alert is about # BBSVCNUM - The numeric code for the service. From SVCCODES definition. # BBHOSTSVC - HOSTNAME.SERVICE that the alert is about. # BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS - As BBHOSTSVC, but dots in the hostname replaced with commas # BBNUMERIC - A 22-digit number made by BBSVCNUM, MACHIP and ACKCODE. # RECOVERED - Is "1" if the service has recovered. # DOWNSECS - Number of seconds the service has been down. # DOWNSECSMSG - When recovered, holds the text "Event duration : N" where # N is the DOWNSECS value.
# # Minumum hobbit-alerts.cfg entry - # SCRIPT /home/hobbit/bin/qpage.sh support-pg FORMAT=SMS #
if [ ${RECOVERED} = 1 ]
then
STATUS="OK"
else
COLOR=echo ${BBALPHAMSG} | /usr/bin/awk ' { print $2 } '
STATUS="${COLOR} ${ACKCODE}"
fi
/usr/local/bin/qpage ${RCPT} ${BBHOSTSVC} ${STATUS}
Note that I have massaged the status code - it seems some of our on-call folk don't like "-1" as an indicator that things have recovered. It doesn't register quickly enough with the brain in the wee small hours of the morning ;-)
The corresponding line in hobbit-alert.cfg then becomes:
SCRIPT /home/hobbit/bin/qpage.sh support-pg REPEAT=60m RECOVERED FORMAT=SMS COLOR=red
"support-pg" is configured as a "pager" in the qpage.cf file.
HTH, Andy.
