[Nagios-devel] Acknowledgement handler
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 4:49 am
Hello,
I suggest to write some 'acknowledgement handler', which can be useful in
several cases:
1. event reset
I use logfile monitoring based on net-snmp + AgentX: agentx script reads
error-log in infinite loop, and reports in case of an error. The
acknowledgement handler can call snmpset and tell agentx that the error was
handled and error flag can be turned off.
2. sysadmin team notification
If somebody started to work on the issue, he can seamlessly notify others.
3. ticket system tracking
If your up/down messages goes to the ticket system such as RT, it is
reasonable to keep acknowledgements also.
With best regards,
Andrew Ivanov,
System administrator.
