[Xymon] raid bbwin monitoring

[Gonzalez Peto]

You are right Darin. Thank you. Very helpful. I didnt try the relative path.

What I found as an experience while testing these days is that some servers
array cli returns "Ok" while most of them return "OK" for logical disk. All
of them though, return "OK" for physical disk.

One question:
Do you go in bb-services and define raid as a service like [raid] and
nothing else? I guess not because then I do not get any info other than
this:
Service raid on FOO is not OK : Service unavailable

Because I am not able to make the mail alert working while all other alerts
in similar fashion do work.

This is what I try:
PAGE=testpage SERVICE=raid
        MAIL email[at]address.com COLOR=red REPEAT=1m

PAGE=testpage SERVICE=conn
        MAIL email2[at]address.com DURATION>2m REPEAT=1 RECOVERED

The second on works, the first one doesnt. So, since raid is not in my
bb-services file, then it is not a service per se, so I wonder how do I
define it? Whether this is the correct way?

I tested with: .././bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test foo raid

Tells me it will fire email which is ok. However, it doesnt fire email in
reality
00027264 2013-07-22 14:57:07 Matching host:service:page 'foo:raid:testpage'
against rule line 62
00027264 2013-07-22 14:57:07 *** Match with 'PAGE=testpage SERVICE=raid' ***
00027264 2013-07-22 14:57:07 Matching host:service:page 'foo:raid:testpage'
against rule line 64
00027264 2013-07-22 14:57:07 *** Match with 'MAIL
email[at]address.comCOLOR=red REPEAT=1m' ***
00027264 2013-07-22 14:57:07 Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit
[12345] foo:raid CRITICAL (RED)" email[at]address.com'

Do you folks have any idea where to read/look? examples?


Thanks
