[hobbit] Downtime Alerting #2

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Someone would have to write that.  Your idea may be sound, but Henrik still "owns" the overall architecture.  He is planning a big new release one of these days, and maybe you can see if he will add this to the wish list.

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?
