[hobbit] alert question

Fri May 23 05:32:37 CEST 2008

Hi Ryan,

Here's what I use, in three parts:

FIRST:  The mail script /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail

	#!/opt/csw/bin/bash
	#
	# Script get the following environment variables pre-defined so
	# that they can send a meaningful alert:
	#
	#    BBCOLORLEVEL  - The current color of the status
	#    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.
	#    EVENTSTART    - Timestamp when the current status (color)
began
	#    DOWNSECS      - Number of seconds the service has been
down.
	#    DOWNSECSMSG   - When recovered, holds the text "Event
duration : N" where
	#                    N is the DOWNSECS value.
	#    CFID          - Line-number in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file
that caused the script to be invoked.
	#                    Can be useful when troubleshooting alert
configuration rules

	#
	# Minumum hobbit-alerts.cfg entry -
	# SCRIPT /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail support FORMAT=PLAIN
	#

	if [ ${RECOVERED} = 1 ]
	then
	        export BBCOLORLEVEL="RECOVERED"
	        export BBCOLOR="green"
	else
	        export BBCOLOR=$BBCOLORLEVEL
	fi

	# Convert plain line breaks to HTML breaks

	# export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed
'/>$/!s/$/<BR>/'`"

	# Convert Hobbit colour tags to embedded image tags

	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&blue/<img
src="cid:blue.gif">/g'`"
	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&clear/<img
src="cid:clear.gif">/g'`"
	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&green/<img
src="cid:green.gif">/g'`"
	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&purple/<img
src="cid:purple.gif">/g'`"
	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&red/<img
src="cid:red.gif">/g'`"
	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&unknown/<img
src="cid:unknown.gif">/g'`"
	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&yellow/<img
src="cid:yellow.gif">/g'`"

	# Fix link at base of message as they are removed in PLAIN
format

	export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's|http:.*|<a
href="&">&</a>|g'`"

	# Run Perl script to generate email

	/opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail.pl > /dev/null 2>&1

SECOND:  The perl script to format and send the message
/opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail.pl

	#!/opt/csw/bin/perl -w

	use strict;
	use MIME::Lite;

	my $rcpt = $ENV{'RCPT'};
	my $bbhostsvc = $ENV{'BBHOSTSVC'};
	my $bbcolorlevel = $ENV{'BBCOLORLEVEL'};
	my $bbalphamsg = $ENV{'BBALPHAMSG'};

	my $subject = $bbhostsvc . " " . $bbcolorlevel;
	my $htmldata = join("",
	        "<BODY BGCOLOR=\"#FFFFFF\" TEXT=\"#000000\"
LINK=\"#0000FF\" ALINK =\"#FF0000\" VLINK=\"#800080\">\n",
	        "<FONT FACE=\"Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica\" SIZE=\"3\">\n",
	        "<PRE>\n",
	        $bbalphamsg,
	        "\n",
	        "</PRE>\n",
	        "</FONT>\n",
	        "</BODY>"
	);

	my $msg = MIME::Lite->new
	(
	        Subject => $subject,
	        To      => $rcpt,
	        Type    => 'multipart/related'
	);

	$msg->attach
	(
	        Type    => 'text/html',
	        Data    => $htmldata,
	);

	if($htmldata =~ m/blue.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'blue.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/blue.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/clear.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'clear.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/clear.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/green.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'green.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/green.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/purple.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'purple.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/purple.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/red.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'red.gif', Path
=> '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/red.gif')}
	if($htmldata =~ m/yellow.gif/)
	        {$msg->attach(Type => 'image/gif', Id => 'yellow.gif',
Path => '/opt/hobbit/server/www/gifs/yellow.gif')}

	$msg->send();

THIRD:  Configure your hobbit-alerts.cfg lines like this:

	SCRIPT /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail Someone at nowhere.com FORMAT=TEXT

You will obviously need to adjust all of the paths to suit your
installation!  And don''t forget to check you have the MIME::Lite perl
module and whatever other dependencies it requires.

HTH,
Andy.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Make a custom script; can someone share me the their script and teach me
how to configure it?

Thanks in advance!

Regards.
Ryan

	Pretty sure you'll have to create a custom script and put in the
HTML code in the data section of your email.  To my knowledge you can't
simply stick in text in the alert Hobbit sends.

		Hi all!

		Just a follow up newbie question.

		How can I make hobbit to send me alerts with icon like
that alert below?
		I am receiving alerts like this:

		&yellow Warnings in <a
href="/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=HOST&SECTION=msgs:/var/adm/me
ssages">/var/adm/messages</a>
