RE: [hobbit] HTML Code in Alerts

Chris,

I don't believe that Hobbit will send HTML alerts.  If you want to do this you will need to use a custom notification script for each test that provides HTML alerts.  I use the following script for mine...

############################################################
# The following is an HTML alert script.  Place it in your #
# ext directory as -email-notification.sh.                 #
############################################################

sendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail"
bbserveraddress="http://<HOST NAME>"

echo $BBCOLORLEVEL
echo $RECOVERED

echo "$BBALPHAMSG" >$BBTMP/originalmessage.$$


lines=`wc -l $BBTMP/originalmessage.$$ | awk '{print $1}'`

rowtail=$(($lines -1))
rowhead=$(($lines -3))
tail -n $rowtail $BBTMP/originalmessage.$$ | head -n $rowhead > $BBTMP/temp.$$

#echo $lines

echo "To: $RCPT" >$BBTMP/notification.$$

case $RECOVERED in

        0)
                case $BBCOLORLEVEL in
                        red)
                                echo "Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME CRITICAL (RED)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$
                        ;;
                        yellow)
                                echo "Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME warning (YELLOW)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$
                        ;;
                        green)
                                echo"Subject: Hobbit [${ACKCODE}] $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME okay (GREEN)" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$
                        ;;
                esac

                echo "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\"
<BODY BGCOLOR=\"$BBCOLORLEVEL\" BACKGROUND=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit/gifs/bkg-$BBCOLORLEVEL.gif\" TEXT=\"#FFFFCC\" LINK=\"#00FFAA\" VLINK=\"#FFFF44\">"  >>$BBTMP/notification.$$
        ;;

        1)
                echo "Subject: Hobbit $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME recovered
Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"us-ascii\"
<BODY BGCOLOR=\"green\" BACKGROUND=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit/gifs/bkg-green.gif\" TEXT=\"#FFFFCC\" LINK=\"#00FFAA\" VLINK=\"#FFFF44\">"  >>$BBTMP/notification.$$
        ;;
esac

cat $BBTMP/temp.$$ >>$BBTMP/notification.$$

echo "<center>
<p>Please see: <a href=\"$bbserveraddress/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=$BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS\">Service Details</a>
</p>
</center>" >>$BBTMP/notification.$$


$sendmail $RCPT <$BBTMP/notification.$$


rm -rf $BBTMP/*.$$

exit 1




Then put the following in your hobbit-alerts.cfg file
HOST=* SERVICE=mrtg RECOVERED COLOR=red
        SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/html-email-notification.sh <EMAIL ADDRESS>


Also, I typically put the HTML alert tests in the EXSERVICE value of my other alerts.  That way it doesn't send out the text alerts and only sends out the HTML ones.

I am no programmer so there may be better ways to accomplish what I did, but it works great and I am happy with it.

Subject: [hobbit] HTML Code in Alerts

I am using server custom scripts that return HTML code to the hobbit for
displaying.  One of which is bbmrtg!  I upgraded the latest snapshot
because of another e-mail stating that it was patched in RC2.  I am
still getting the following:

How can I get the Hobbit to send everything as HTML formatted e-mails
vice text?
