Automating some tasks

[stecino]

I wanted to be able to do these if possible:

Automatically remove acknowledgment of an alert after 2 hours.
Automatically unsilent alerts that have been silenced for 12 hours or more.

[ssax]

XI currently doesn't have the ability to do this, I've created a feature request for you:

Code: Select all

NEW TASK ID 5493 created - Nagios XI Feature Request: Add the options to unsilence and remove acknowledgements after a specified amount of time

I'm not sure there is a quick and easy way to handle this with out doing a bit of development.

What would you recommend? Is there a cgi script I could write that would handle this?

You may be able to get creative without our help.

Submitting external commands is easy: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... mands.html

Are you able to create a custom plugin that can read the existing nagios.log to search for ACKs and silence commands that you want to inactivate? The logic is fairly simple, it would just require a bit of log file parsing.
