I am looking for ideas on a mechanism of causing SEC to ignore events on a schedule on rules similar to the ones listed below. I have to modify the SEC configuration on 4 independent network monitoring hosts during scheduled configuration upgrades, along with reload of the SEC rules, and I really want to get out of that business because it ties me personally too close to the configuration upgrade process. Does this group have any ideas on what such a mechanism would be, and what SEC rules would need to be used to take advantage of the mechanism automatically?
The schedule might come from scheduled down time for a host, device, peer, or circuit. The schedule must be controlled external to SEC, and must be reachable via some customer process. I have mysql available, and so are file transfer methods to pull down columnar data (sftp, https, etc) in order to fulfill the latter requirement. I would like to scrape the information from a change control process that declares a maintenance window, and also have a method of superceding it in the case where the maintenance action is completed before the end of the maintenance window.. Table: scheduled maintenance Event Start, Event End, Host/Port/Peer, supercede? 20100607T2200, 20100607T2345,myhost.mydomain, no type=Single ptype=RegExp pattern=Node Unreachable: (<host name or IP address>) desc=Scheduled outage on %s action=none type=Single ptype=RegExp pattern=Peer Down: (<peer name or IP address>) desc=Scheduled outage on %s action=none type=Single ptype=RegExp pattern=Link Down: (<Host + Port identifier >) desc=Scheduled outage on %s action=none Please advise, Tim Peiffer -- Tim Peiffer Network Support Engineer Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota/NorthernLights GigaPOP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
