Mon alerts to DB
Hi, Could someone give me some direction of how I could get Mon alerts into a database? The objective it to look into creating an alert management system requiring a DB. It doesn't seem Mon can input to a DB nativity. dtlog seems to be updated only when an alert is restored (allowing total downtime info), so making a database management system with this is not going to be effective. Can logs for DOWN and UP alerts be sent to a syslog, and then continuously scrape the syslog entering data into a DB? what are the basic tools to do this? Sorry if ive missed an obvious search. But any quick pointers to get me looking in the right direction would be appreciated. Regards, Anthony ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon

The objective it to look into creating an alert management system requiring a DB. I agree with Hans Peter's advice, to write an alert script which pumps the details of the failure into the database. If you want to capture both failures and non-failures, look at the "redistribute" config option. If the DB is something which is connection-oriented, such as mysql or postgres, it would be better to write a simple daemon which stays connected listens on an AF_UNIX socket for your alert messages. your alert script could then write to that socket so it does not need to log into the db each time it is invoked. that'll help minimize the overhead. also, there are alternate syslog daemons such as rsyslog which can store the log data in various databases. It doesn't seem Mon can input to a DB nativity. o/~ joy to the world, the DB has come... ___ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
