Re: [xymon] Managing who gets alerts - shifts and rotations




Maybe we get some space

 in the svn-repository for such first-shots ... ?

OK, well, I hate to post on Xymonton something that is in such an
early/unrefined state (it's not terribly configurable all in one place,
so I went through and just edited out the UMDNJ specific stuff). So...
maybe a first cut like this will help. Note that the script was written
to solve a specific problem, though... our on call list was generated as
a Word doc in a certain format. My colleague wrote something that would
accept a saved TXT with the same formatting and use that to manage who's
on call when. It would obviously make more sense to use a CSV or
something like that, but that is not how the author of the schedule does
what she does.

Initially, it ran Monday mornings, but that didn't take into account
times when someone would swap a day or something. So now we run it at
8:00a everyday.

Anyways, without further ado. Hope it helps someone.

Anyone have an answer to this question? Do I just attach the file?

Betsy, Ryan

Why not post what you have/create, so it is available to all for
implementation, and, heaven forbid, improvement. :-)
Like you said, it is unlikely you are the first to
encounter this issue,
but others may have solved it in a less elegant manner.

After a bit of a delay we're going full speed ahead with our xymon
conversion. Our tech support manager is writing an
external rotation
script to handle our  peculiar rotation complexities. Still kinda
surprised that we haven't been able to find any code for
such a tool
around - I keep thinking we can't be the first company to
need this -
but I'm glad we're going with xymon.

Newbie questions to follow in very short order

A coworker of mine wrote a rotation script to rotate one
on call e-mail
based on a text file provided with the calendar. This does
not help with
your multiple times a day rotation, but perhaps it would
be of interest?
I'm sure he does not wish to hold any rights over it.
