[Xymon] "Roll-up" of purple alerts and their recoveries.

[John Tullis]

For our organization, we rarely have a purple alert that isn't the entire server going offline. So we solved it by only sending purple alert messages for the CPU and wrote a custom message that says, your CPU is purple but it's likely your server is down. Please log in and check it.

Then, in the alerts.cfg file, our rules look like this:

PAGE=%.*pagename/
SCRIPT=/path/to/alert.sh name at email.com COLOR=red,yellow RECOVERED REPEAT=720 DURATION>3
SCRIPT=/path/to/purple.sh name at email.com COLOR=purple SERVICE=cpu RECOVERED REPEAT=720 DURATION>3

Thanks,

John Tullis

Has anyone written a custom script to achieve this?
