Hi Irene
You can modify the PERL script to do the
checking for you.
I the script check to see if it gets either
one or the other or both.
The alert re-acts on the error code returned
from the script.
If it is 1 it is down and if it is 0 it is
up.
If it finds (4040) then exit 0
If it finds (31000) then exit 0
if it does not find any then exit 1
Cheers

Showing only the down when both are down is
only possible IF you would create a totaly new check type for it. Getting
the alert only when both are down can be done by putting the alert on the
2nd check. BUT it will still be a tricky thing as the 1st one will only be
down for 1 cycle.
Dirk.

The messages are an 'either/or' each day,
when the database is downloaded each day, then either it is updated
successfully (4040) or it doesn't need to because the new db hasn't changed
from the previous one (31000).
I've got the 31000 check dependent on the
4040 one failing, so it only checks for 'no change' if the 'new update'
hasn't taken place (which is fine if there is an update). Unfortunately, it
then means that if there isn't an update, and it then checks for 'no
change', even if there is a successful 'no change' entry (meaning everything
is up-to-date), the previous 'no update' failure still shown as a DOWN
(which is true for that check, but not really true for the whole sequence).
What I would like to do is to show a DOWN
only if both the 4040 and 31000 checks fail .....

Question: will they appear at the same time
(4040 and 31000) or is it possible to schedule the tests in such way that
when they are tested that the both seems to appear at the same time?

Subject: [SA-list] Don't think this is
possible, but ...
I have an application which should, every
night, download a database from a website and use this database to update
its local information. Most of this time this is what happens; however,
sometimes the database which is downloaded hasn't changed, so there isn't
any need to update the local information, which is also OK. Each of these
actions writes to the server's event log, and I'm using the old Perl
CheckEvt addon.
What I would really like to do is send an
alert if there is *no* event entry for the download, and if there is *no*
event entries for either the update or the 'everything's current' warning,
but I don't think I can check for missing event log entries (can I?).
I've managed to fiddle the first rule, so
that it sends me an email if the database downloads correctly (by finding
the entry in the log, then inverting the status to it doesn't show as DOWN),
but I'm not really 100% happy with it as I have to check my email each
morning to see if I've received a mail, rather than getting alerted when the
entry doesn't appear in the event log .....
but I'm completely stuck with the next bit
..... the problem is that either the update (event ID 4040) or the
'everything is up-to-date message (event ID 31000) are both correct, so I
really only want to get an alert if *neither* one appears. The CheckEvt
documentation shows how to flag if *both* entries appear, but since it
doesn't mention a *neither* option, I assume I can't do it.
Does this make any sense??
