NAME
action_notify - Generic notification handler for Torrus monitor
SYNOPSIS
<action name="notify">
<param name="action-type" value="exec" />
<param name="command">
$TORRUS_BIN/action_notify
</param>
<param name="launch-when" value="set" />
</action>
DESCRIPTION
This program is designed for usage from a monitor action only. It takes
the arguments from environment variables, as described in action-type
"exec" in Torrus XML Configuration Guide.
The handler reads its configuration from <notify-siteconfig.pl>, a
small Perl file which defines the notification paths for various
conditions.
Example:
%Torrus::Notify::programs =
(
'mailto' => '$TORRUS_BIN/action_printemail | /usr/bin/mail $ARG1',
'page' => '/usr/bin/echo $TORRUS_NODEPATH:$TORRUS_MONITOR ' .
'>> /tmp/monitor.$ARG1.log'
);
%Torrus::Notify::policies =
(
'CUST_A' => {
'match' => sub { $ENV{'TORRUS_P_notify_policy'} eq 'A' },
'severity' => {
'3' => [ 'mailto:aaa@domain.com',
'mailto:bbb@domain.com' ],
'5' => [ 'page:1234', 'mailto:boss@domain.com' ] } } );
In this example, we define two message handlers: e-mail sender and a
dummy replacement for a pager program. Then we define the notification
policies. For the customer A, we define the policy so that the
parameter "notify-policy" should match the name "A". The parameter is
defined in the datasource tree and marks only those leaves that belong
to this customer. Then, depending on the monitor severity, different
notification paths are defined. For severity values higher or equal 3,
aaa@domain.com and bbb@domain.com will receive the email notifications,
and for severity higher than or equal 5 all recipients will receive the
notification.
The "match" argument is a Perl subroutine, and can depend on various
parameters, such as time of day or day of the week, the tree name, and
so on.
