[hobbit] Downtime Alerting #2

[oliver_grube at campbellsoup.com]

Greg,

thanks for the answer.
I'm not deep inside C Code, therefore,may I ask an additional question?

Do you see any possible ways, to enhance the code to allow a Downtime
alerting?
I'm thinking about something like "DTALERT=email1,email2" added to the
objects in the bb-hosts file and whenever a downtime is scheduled,
hobbit-enadis.cgi could perhaps trigger this to the alert?

With BigBrother, I did a lot of minor code changes and at the end, this
results in the situation, that I never update the software itself, because
I don't know, how to re-apply my changes. I have no experience with
patching and version-control and more than scripting is also not my cup of
tea. My concern is, if I do "private" changes to hobbit, I run in the same
situation...

You could look at the source, and you would realize that the answer to your
first question is "no" and that the answer to the second question is "not
unless you write a script to create and send the email yourself and call it
for the alarms that you want to send email for..."

Hello Hobbits,

my last post was perhaps simply overseen, because I can't believe, that
nobody knows something about my question. Or did I miss a chapter in the
Manual?

By using the "info" Column you can easily disable a System for a planned
downtime. However, I would like to inform a group a people about this
automatically by sending an eMail directly, when the Downtime is scheduled.
Is there a way to do so?

And is there a general way, to change the Look & Text of an Alert eMail?

mit freundlichen Grüßen - Best regards
