RE: [SA-list] Possible feature that could be implemented in SA?

[Dirk Bulinckx]

One of the ideas for v6 is that for certain check type (diskspace - perfmon - ...) we will have statusses.  One being down (as it's now) and a "warning" (name could still change) level.  And then you could do something like         diskspace check \\server\c$         down when free space < 250MB                                                           warning when free space <1gb       and then for the actual alert (one should be enough for both statusses) you can define if it a DOWN alert or a DOWN/WARNING or a WARNING alert and within the alert message itself you can then use the %s (status) and see if it's a warning or a down.   But as said it's an IDEA for v6....    Dirk.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ziots, Edward Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 9:39 PM To: 'salive@woodstone.nu' Subject: RE: [SA-list] Possible feature that could be implemented in SA? I take it there is no way to define said rules for certain alerts within SA in this version.   Z -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 3:10 PM To: salive@woodstone.nu Subject: RE: [SA-list] Possible feature that could be implemented in SA? Just a dropdown wouldn't help as you need to be able to define "rules" per "type" (minor/major/critical)   Dirk.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ziots, Edward Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 8:58 PM To: 'salive@woodstone.nu' Subject: RE: [SA-list] Possible feature that could be implemented in SA? Dirk,   Lets take the disk space scenario, regular file server.   IF Diskspace <5GB, Alert is minor IF Diskspace <3GB, Alert is major IF Diskspace <1GB, Alert is critical   I know I could make 3 seperate alerts and then put minor, major and critcal in the wording, but a quick to define variable in SA, or a dropdown box in the alert field or check field would be the ideal situation.   I hope that helps, EZ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Dirk Bulinckx Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 2:33 PM To: salive@woodstone.nu Subject: RE: [SA-list] Possible feature that could be implemented in SA? Let's use your diskspace as an example. In your request is this entry always "critical" when down?  Or does the level depend on the free space?      Dirk.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ziots, Edward Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 8:13 PM To: 'salive@woodstone.nu' Subject: [SA-list] Possible feature that could be implemented in SA?   To the list,   While I am currently configuring SA to do monitoring of my systems I have been asked if the alerts and the emails that it sends to my ops and administrators can be customized so that say that Diskspace below 1G on a drive would be labeled as Critical. ( I dont see it in the interface where you can label an alert is like critical, minor, major, info etc etc) I know I could put this in the text of the email to the administrators, to show them what is critical and what isnt, it just woul dbe nice if you could put in a defined variable in the message field (defined somewhere within SA) that would tag the alert as critical, minor, major or otherwise)   If anyone has done this or found out a good way via the software accomplish this, I would be greatful for the insight.   As always, a great product absolutely loving the information I am getting from it already....   Sincerely, Ed Ziots Network Engineer Lifespan Organization [EMAIL PROTECTED]
