[Xymon] script alerts args

[Galen Johnson]

It's almost like I know what I'm doing.  I just wrapped it in quotes and pipe delimited it then added to my script to parse it (it's script to post to Slack channels that needed to be fed a channel since I changed how I wanted to separate the alerts).  Just added the following and it basically just worked...


SCRIPT /path/to/script 'webhook|channelname'

?

# Parse the recipient to get the channel and key
VAR=`echo $RCPT | awk -F "|" '{ print "webhook="$1; print "channel="$2 }'`
eval $VAR


It really was that simple...

EXTERNAL

You might be able to comma-separate multiple args to make them look like one.

If not, could you just put the multiple args in a flat file and grep at the top of the script for the single $RCPT that gets passed?

Hey,


Is there any way to have the SCRIPT type recipient take more than 2 args?  I need to be able to feed the script itself more than just the recipient...although, it occurs to me, I might be able to cheat by feeding it that inside a string with a separator.  Anyone ever tried to do this?


thanks
