RE: {bb} Specific service notification

["Michael Vincent Pozon" <michaelp@TP.EDU.SG>]

Hi,

Anyway to know how to determine the previous status (color) in the
sample external script provided by BB?

As far as I know, it only has the following variables:

# BBALPHAMSG - Default message defined
# ACKCODE - Notification associated ack code
# BBHOSTSVC - host in www.xxx.com.disk format
# BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS - host in www,xxx,com.disk format
# RCPT - recipient
# MACHIP - IP address of host in normalized 12 digits AAABBBCCCDDD
# BBSVCNAME - name of service
# BBSVCNUM - numeric equivalent of service (from svcerrlist in
bbwarnsetup.cfg)
# BBNUMERIC - ${MACHIP}${BBSVCNUM}
# BBCOLORLEVEL - Color level
# DOWNSECSMSG - Default recovery message
# DOWNSECS - # of seconds to recovery
# RECOVERED - 1 in recovery mode, anything else non-recovery mode


Regards,

Out of the box, Big Brother can't page depending on color. What i do
most of the time, is using an extra paging script, checking to color of
the alert. This is extremly easy, just copy one of the examples
(/$BBHOME/ext/pg) and replace:

echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | $MAIL "!BB - ${ACKCODE}! $BBHOSTSVC $BBCOLORLEVEL
- $BBNUMERIC" "$RCPT"

by:

if [ "$BBCOLORLEVEL" = "red" ]
then
        echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | $MAIL "!BB - ${ACKCODE}! $BBHOSTSVC
$BBCOLORLEVEL - $BBNUMERIC" "$RCPT"
fi

This way, the alert will only be send if the colorlevel is red.
Ofcourse, you will have to put an extra paging rule in for every color.
In my case:

bambi;;temp;;*;1000-2200;mycellphone
bambi;;temp;;*;0000-1000 2200-0000;ext-ex5-mycellphone

So i get pages during the day when my server temperature reaches warning
level or higher, and during the night, i only get paged at panic level
(red).

Hope this helps.

Kind regard, Jasper

Look in the config file, you can specify any of the following:
a) All alerts for any server and any service go to admin@example.com
b) All alerts for any server and TFTP go to admin@example.com and alerts
for any other server or service go to admin2@example.com
c) All alerts for one specific server and any service go to
admin@example.com. All other alerts are handled as per other options
listed.
d) All alerts for one specific server and one specific service are sent
to admin1@example.com. All other alerts are handled as per other options
listed (including this one).

Basically, what you are asking is for two serves of (d) and you haven't
specified what else you want.

It can take some time to get your head around BB's paging rules, but it
is extremely flexible, and can do almost anything. The only thing I know
it can't do (this might have changed since I last checked) is to page
different people for different color alerts.

Hope this helps.

Adam
