Hey People,

I have a server i monitor and i would like to have this agent report on about 5 different services. However i noticed that the action that takes place (in my case sending an e-mail) is dependent on the type of Event (in my case SYS_SERVICE_DOWN). Is there a way that i can use that same event (SYS_SERVICE_DOWN) for each of my 5 services that i monitor and make it so they send out a different e-mail dependent on the service that they monitor?

I know i can have different events take place such as SYS_THRESHOLD_REACHED or something else for each service but then i will have to keep track of what i assign to each service.

Thanks,

Hi!

You can use filter scripts to do advanced filtering. Event SYS_SERVICE_DOWN contains 3 parameters:
1: service name;
2: service object id;
3: service type.
So, for example, if you wish to execute action only for service named "httpd", you can use the following script:


$1 == "httpd"


or, in full form


sub main()
{
   return $1 == "httpd";
}


Best regards,
