[hobbit] alert question

Hi again Ryan,
 
Are you testing via the standard hobbit alerting or from a shell?  If
the latter, it may be because the RECOVERED environment is not set.
 
You could try changing the entry on line 30 to read ${RECOVERED:=1} so
that it has a value of 1 if it is not set (although you will probably
then run into further problems with BBCOLORLEVEL and BBALPHAMSG as
well!).
 
Otherwise, you will probably have to set the first line to "#!/bin/bash
-x" to get more detailed output of what the script is up to in the logs.
 
Andy.

	What shell have you set this to run as?  Andy is using
bash...(#!/opt/csw/bi/bash)

	Hi Andy, 

	 

	There is a problem with my implementation, please refer to the
logs below:

	 

	error:
	./htmlmail: line 30: [: =: unary operator expected

	
	htmlmail:
	(start of line 30)
	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

	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

	 

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

	 

	/var/log/hobbit/page.log:
	Paging script /home/hobbit/server/bin/htmlmail terminated with
status 2

	 

	What seems to be the problem?

	 

	Thanks in advance!

	 

	Regards,

	Ryan

		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?

			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>

			Hobbit 4.2.0 w/ all-in-one patch instaled in
