RonenK: Subject: sending alerts to pager with procmailrc
RonenK:
RonenK: Hi,
RonenK: I have a Big Brother monitoring system on Windows 2000, which sends
RonenK: e-mail alerts. I also have a pager gateway who has to receive the mail
RonenK: messages in the format of a text file attachment (within pager no. &
the
RonenK: message I wish to send to pager). I wrote a Perl script, running on my
RonenK: SMTP server, which sends the mail with attachment I was talking of. Now
RonenK: all I have left is to configure the procmailrc file. My demand from it:
We use BB over here. Your questions seem more geared towards BB setup
than procmail.
RonenK: * I want the procmailrc file to make classification job, & pipe it
RonenK: with my Perl script & pick the right file for the attachment out of the
RonenK: pull of many files.
RonenK: * I have about 20 servers monitoring a couple of servers. I want
RonenK: to get pager alerts only on Windows 2000 services problems & http not
RonenK: available.
Your BB configuration should be emailing/paging whenever a particular
server.service (ie: host1.http or host3.smtp) goes red or yellow.
Based on that, it should be easy to procmail it. Since I only want to
read messages concerning the servers I am primarily responsible for, my
filter is written as such:
#SORT Big Brother
:0 H
* ^(From|Subject):.*Big.*Brother|bb\@|Re:.!?BB|BB:
{
:0:
* ^From:.*Big.Brother
* !^Subject:.*(Gollum|Publish|Webpages|Aluminum|router|ns1)
/dev/null
#BigBrother2
:0:
* ^From:(_dot_)*daemon\(_at_)aluminum
/dev/null
:0:
BigBrother
}
RonenK: * I don't want to get pager alert every 5 minutes, as in e-mail.
RonenK: After the first notification, it should wait an hour until the next
RonenK: alert.
This can be changed in the BB configuration. I cannot recall which file
to edit in Win2000 as we run both Windoze and UNIX.
RonenK: Please help.
