Hi Andy,

Thanks for your help.

Now, I am receiving alerts like this:

subj: HOST.msgs yellow

Is this the normal email alert from your script?

Thanks again and regards,

  Hi again Ryan,

  Are you testing via the standard hobbit alerting or from a shell?  If the latter, it may be because the RECOVERED environment is not set.

  You could try changing the entry on line 30 to read ${RECOVERED:=1} so that it has a value of 1 if it is not set (although you will probably then run into further problems with BBCOLORLEVEL and BBALPHAMSG as well!).

  Otherwise, you will probably have to set the first line to "#!/bin/bash -x" to get more detailed output of what the script is up to in the logs.

  Andy.

    Hi Andy, 

     

    There is a problem with my implementation, please refer to the logs below:

     

    error:
    ./htmlmail: line 30: [: =: unary operator expected


    htmlmail:
    (start of line 30)

    then
            export BBCOLORLEVEL="RECOVERED"
            export BBCOLOR="green"
    else
            export BBCOLOR=$BBCOLORLEVEL
    fi

    export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&blue/<img src="cid:blue.gif">/g'`"
    export BBALPHAMSG="`echo \"$BBALPHAMSG\" | sed 's/&clear/<img src="cid:clear.gif">/g'`"

    /var/log/hobbit/page.log:
    Paging script /home/hobbit/server/bin/htmlmail terminated with status 2

     

    What seems to be the problem?

     

    Thanks in advance!

      Hi Ryan,

       

      Here's what I use, in three parts:

       

      FIRST:  The mail script /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail

        #!/opt/csw/bin/bash
        #
        # Script get the following environment variables pre-defined so
        # that they can send a meaningful alert:
        #
        #    BBCOLORLEVEL  - The current color of the status
        #    BBALPHAMSG    - The full text of the status log triggering the alert
        #    ACKCODE       - The "cookie" that can be used to acknowledge the alert
        #    RCPT          - The recipient, from the SCRIPT entry
        #    BBHOSTNAME    - The name of the host that the alert is about
        #    MACHIP        - The IP-address of the host that has a problem
        #    BBSVCNAME     - The name of the service that the alert is about
        #    BBSVCNUM      - The numeric code for the service. From SVCCODES definition.
        #    BBHOSTSVC     - HOSTNAME.SERVICE that the alert is about.
        #    BBHOSTSVCCOMMAS - As BBHOSTSVC, but dots in the hostname replaced with commas
        #    BBNUMERIC     - A 22-digit number made by BBSVCNUM, MACHIP and ACKCODE.
        #    RECOVERED     - Is "1" if the service has recovered.
        #    EVENTSTART    - Timestamp when the current status (color) began
        #    DOWNSECS      - Number of seconds the service has been down.
        #    DOWNSECSMSG   - When recovered, holds the text "Event duration : N" where
        #                    N is the DOWNSECS value.
        #    CFID          - Line-number in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file that caused the script to be invoked.
        #                    Can be useful when troubleshooting alert configuration rules

         

        #
        # Minumum hobbit-alerts.cfg entry -
        # SCRIPT /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail support FORMAT=PLAIN

        fi

        $msg->send();

      THIRD:  Configure your hobbit-alerts.cfg lines like this:

        SCRIPT /opt/hobbit/bin/htmlmail Someone at nowhere.com FORMAT=TEXT

      You will obviously need to adjust all of the paths to suit your installation!  And don''t forget to check you have the MIME::Lite perl module and whatever other dependencies it requires.

       

      HTH,

      Andy.

      Thanks for the quick reply!

       

      Make a custom script; can someone share me the their script and teach me how to configure it?

       

      Thanks in advance!

        Pretty sure you'll have to create a custom script and put in the HTML code in the data section of your email.  To my knowledge you can't simply stick in text in the alert Hobbit sends.

        Hi all!

         

        Just a follow up newbie question.

         

        How can I make hobbit to send me alerts with icon like that alert below?

        I am receiving alerts like this:

         

        &yellow Warnings in <a href="/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=HOST&SECTION=msgs:/var/adm/messages">/var/adm/messages</a>
