Filesystem thresholds based on Space (not percentage) available
Trying to create a DA that alerts when filesystem has x GB left rather than percentage left. This is valuable as setting current thresholds to 99% could still mean there is 100's GB still available, which for big filesystems this is not an issue. This information is available through the host resource oid's and I have created a threshold which is visible on the devices the DA is aligned to. However, this is a threshold for ALL filesystems rather than being able to specify for individual filesystems. Anyone with any ideas on how to get the same behavior as the internal filesystem thresholds where we can specify this threshold on individual filesystems?
Heartbeats Monitoring - suggestion
Hello, One of our customer is using a lot of Custom Scripts, where we are monitoring their output by syslog. There is starting a problem, when script stuck or block. Then customer don't know about it. Is there any possibilities how to monitor, If these scripts are working? We have suggestion, that Custom Scripts can send also message like OK or KO. 2 Events will match these both. There should be an action (run book) for script is running like: em7_snippets.generate_alert(xtype = 1, xid=EM7_VALUES['%x'], message = 'script heartbeat') and not running with count like: if EM7_VALUES['%c'] >= 2: em7_snippets.generate_alert(xtype = 1, xid=EM7_VALUES['%x'], message = 'script is not running') There will be also 2 automation. For script heartbeat will be action for heartbeat every 5min (for example as schedules) and for some Device group. Second automation for not running will have action not running. I think, there will must be next two events which will be matched by "script heartbeat or script is not running". Also if new syslog message will come, the first events (mentioned above) will must clear these events for continue with actions and automatons. Do you think that it is possible to implement it? How will look Hardware usage when we will have more automations/actions or when we will have it on lot of devices? Do you think that it is construable? Thank you for your answers.
Sending Sub-ID information into incident integration
When SL1 sends event to, in our case, using SL PF Incindent Sync to ServiceNow, other systems it quite often includes the sub-id information also in that message. Normally that is also used as correlation ID in ServiceNow. Example here what is seen in SN: So some events utilize other sub-id's than those ootb cpu/mem/disk/etc. We would also use that kind of feature in our own event policies to send numeric (or string) information in that field. But we have not yet found a place where we can control that. So how is that information sent to servicenow. What fields in event message are used for that info?Suppressing Specific BGP peers
There's been a number of times where we have come across customers who have BGP peers that are not in use or sporadically in use, but they do not wish to remove it from their configs. As a result we get perpetual alerts, but we cannot suppress them as the event suppressed would prevent all bgp peers from alerting. Anyone have thoughts on some ways to single out peers that can be ignored on a per device level? Side note: We are using Powerflow and ServiceNow so we can possibly do something in the path as well. ServiceNow could take care of it, but doesn't help with the peers that flap.
