RE: [SA-list] Status Summary wishlist

[Dirk Bulinckx]

That's seems to be a "valid" request. While we're making the changes (when we get to the point of deciding how) to the status summary & executie alerts, we will add this one too.   Dirk Bulinckx.   From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Goings Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 8:16 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] Status Summary wishlist I know that my team would certainly love *any* additional customization of the status summary.  We send a daily status to everyone each day and it would be nice to tweak what was displayed.  It would also be nice to be able to adjust the formatting.  For example, I find this hard to read on a pager:   Up: 113 - Down: 0 - Maintenance: 0 - Unavailable: 0 - Unchecked: 0   The colons and the dashes make it a little unclear as to which text the numbers go with, especially on a pager where the text gets wrapped randomly.  I’d like to see hard returns after each line similar to this:   Up: 113 Down: 0 Maintenance: 0 Unavailable: 0 Unchecked: 0   Jim Goings IT Manager  |  WebTrends Inc.

Do you see this as being part of the executive alerts (with more options that is) or just that the "status summary"-part will have a similar screen as the executive alerts.   The WHEN part would need to have:         * each cycle         * at approx. ..    The WHAT part will be the same as for the normal alerts   A new tab that gives an idea on what entries to include:         * all down         * all status change         * all status change  + down         * all         * summary line    all combined with an option to say             entries of [ALL]-[of this checktype]-[of this group]-[of this level]   ?   Dirk Bulinckx.     From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 4:51 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: RE: [SA-list] Status Summary wishlist 1. A selector would be great! But useful to know that teams can be added by hand. 2. Perfect. 3. Ummm... I guess it's a combination of exec alerts and the status summary. The exec alerts can be set only to send if something happens in a specific group, but don't send at a specific time of day. What I'm after is an alert that goes out at a set time every day (like the status summary) but that only lists the status of checks from a specific group. Ideally I'd then combine this with request 4, so that anything that has been down in the last 24hrs in a specific group is highlighted. 4. I could live with that! One further request (which isn't for the status summary, but does follow the same logic): would it be possible to store up SMS alerts generated between (say) 1800 and 0600, and send them out at 0600?

I have (as ever!) a few suggestions for things that would make it even better: 1) (nice to have) Being able to add to the "To:" list using the Person and Group lists. 2) (nice to have) Being able to turn off the summary at weekends. 3) (really, really useful) Having multiple status summaries, which one can set by group. For example, I have one status summary that goes to certain people, covering all downs. But I have groups setup within SA covering systems in different regions, and I would love to be able to send a summary covering just a particular region's systems to the local IT support people there. 4) (really useful but possibly harder to do) Having an "all status changes over the last 24 hours" or maybe "all downs in the last 24 hours" option for the "what entries" line.
