Can this be done easily?
What I have done to accomplish this is: - I use a command based on an event which runs a script. - This script generate's a text file on the server - I have a cron script running which is watching the dir, if a file in the dir is older then a certin threshold the script will resend an SMS - This file is in a CRITICAL folder - When an event is acknowledged it moves the file (using the script wich is called in zenoss using commands based on an event) to an other folder which is called ACKNOWLEDGE and the cron script does the same for this folder. - Wen an event is moved to history or cleared itself up, the script moves the file to the folder RECOVERY en the cron scripts sends an recovery sms and deletes the text file. Its much easier to handle time based things directly in linux instead of using zenoss when I have the time i will create a document on how to do this ------------------------ Wouter DHaeseleer -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=10256#10256 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
