BPI Notification - List "Problem" Services?

Post by derekb »

Hi there,
I'm search for a way to aggregate notifications together in XI and am experimenting with the BPI feature. I have it working so far with the warning and critical thresholds thanks to the XI BPI Wizard. When a notification is triggered, I get an email with the following message:

Code: Select all

CRITICAL - Group health below critical threshold of 90%! Health is 50.00% with 2 problem(s).
In the case above, I had a BPI Group with 4 services, 2 of them I forced into a CRITICAL state. How can I make the alert list the 2 "problem" services in the notification message? This would be ALOT more helpful to the person receiving the notifications.

I agree that would be more helpful. Unfortunately there is not a way to achieve this at the moment in XI, but I did file a feature request for this : TASK ID 9521
Sorry we can''t make this happen right now, but hopefully dev will be able to make it happen in a future release.

That's fantastic, thanks! Is there any way for me to view/track the request?

I've been hacking together some Ruby scripts to basically do this.

Sorry, there is no way for you to track it since I filed it internally. You'll just have to keep a watchful eye on the release notes. You should be commended on getting ruby scripts to do this!

Look at check_check. It will look at services of all or a specific host (excluding itself) and email you if X percent of services are down, or X quantity. It'll also lost out the affected services.

It's already done :)
