There's a little-known feature of Mon that might help you
here. You can set environment variables in the Mon entry
for a service:
watch mumble
service diskspace
description less than 5% disk space free?
MIBDIRS=/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
COMMUNITY=ims03l33t
interval 15m
monitor snmpdiskspace.monitor
The example above sets the environment variables MIBDIRS and
COMMUNITY, which will be available to the monitor program.
The mon man page says they will also be available to alert
programs.
Ooo, that puts a neat little twist on things! Not exactly
what I was looking for (unless clients can query for those
"custom" environment variables?), but it certainly opens
up some cool possibilities for both monitors and alerts.
Thank you very much for the tip! I'm still a mon newbie,
but I'm liking it more and more...
Tim
