SV: [xymon] SV: How to suppress alerts when combo-testing?

[Carl Melgaard <Carl.Melgaard (at) STAB.RM.DK>]

Hi,

I recall trying this, and it stops alerting ok, and hides the red tests, BUT - all the red tests still show up in the "acknowledge alert"-page, which gets very annoying in the long run. Maybe I did something wrongly - am I supposed to delete the test before hiding them with NOCOLUMN?

Use the EXSERVICE Tag in your alerts config file and the NOCOLUMNS tag in your bb-hosts file.  The first will stop alerts from being sent, the second will stop the column from appearing on your web page.

Hi,

Noone has a suggestion to, how I can suppress and hide tests only used in my combotest below? I need to make the red-tests disappear, so they wont create noise in the alerting or the acknowledge-page. How can I hide red-alerts and suppress alerting on them?

Hi,

Im monitoring a cluster-setup, a/b-nodes + cluster ressource:

10.83.13.12     bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk       # COMMENT:"SLES11cluster-res" prefer
10.83.13.10     bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk      # COMMENT:"SLES11a" ldap ldaps ntp ntpd badntp:1:3:3 prefer NOCOLUMNS:ldap,ldaps
10.83.13.11     bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk      # COMMENT:"SLES11b” ldap ldaps ntp ntpd badntp:1:3:3 prefer NOCOLUMNS:ldap,ldaps

ldap + ldaps will always be red on one of the nodes, so I’ve made a combotest to insert on the cluster-ressource:

bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk.ldap = ( bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk.ldap + bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk.ldap ) == 1
bskidmsrv001.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps = ( bskidmsrv001a.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps + bskidmsrv001b.bsk.rm.dk.ldaps ) == 1

This works on – the green status shows up on the cluster-resseource host – BUT I still get alerting on all the hidden red-tests, and I can still acknowledge all of the tests, I thought I hid away with NOCOLUMNS.

How do I achieve this – ie. suppressing the red alerts on the nodes where ldap/ldaps is not running?

Regards,

Carl Melgaard
