<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Check out the UP parameter/setting in the analysis.cfg. (<a href="https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/analysis.cfg.5.html">https://www.xymon.com/help/manpages/man5/analysis.cfg.5.html</a>):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:30.0pt"><b>UP bootlimit toolonglimit [color]</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:30.0pt">The cpu status goes yellow/red if the system has been up for less than "bootlimit" time, or longer than "toolonglimit". The time is in minutes, or you can add h/d/w for hours/days/weeks - eg. "2h" for two hours, or "4w" for 4 weeks.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:30.0pt">Defaults: bootlimit=1h, toolonglimit=-1 (infinite), color=yellow.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>So, you could add "UP 30m -1 RED" to either the DEFAULT stanza or to select hosts. The CPU test will then have a "&red Machine recently rebooted" at the top (similar to
<a href="https://www.xymon.com/xymon-cgi/historylog.sh?HOST=brahms.hswn.dk&SERVICE=cpu&TIMEBUF=Mon_Jul_7_22:59:08_2014">
this</a>) when the host's uptime <= 30m. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Times have changed a bit in the infrastructure environment such that many have a large contingent of virtual machines and blades. These hosts tend to reboot rather quickly, hence
connectivity failures tend to not get noticed. I have a request on the table to send an email alert with a specific subject line to indicate that a host has rebooted.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I’ve seen a few posts over the years regarding requests to alert for system reboots. I also saw a post or two about adding a dynamic column capability. Some responses suggested
an external script to accomplish the task of emailing an alert. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I’m asking the question again because as I peruse the analysis.cfg and review the rules, I know I can issue an email alert for PROC and DISK.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">That begs the question of ‘why can’t I issue an email alert for UP’? I’m fine with the ‘yellow’ on CPU test for recent reboot, but since it also includes load changes, I’m not interested
in a generic email for either one when they occur. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">And if not, suggestions for a simple approach? I’m not exactly getting the desired results server-wide with an external script that should just send an email for a CPU status color=yellow
without interfering with our other configured alerts. <span style="font-family:Wingdings">
