Hi all,
I have been playing with and testing Zenoss for about a month now. I am trying
to set up network monitoring for cca 200 Cisco switches. I have learned some
new stuff and got to know Zenoss quite a bit, but there is one thing I have not
completely solved:
I need to prioritize events on specific ports of specific boxes above the
others. Say a trunk link, a part of the backbone, goes down - event severity
gets 'critical', a server's port goes down - event priority gets 'error', other
ports are considered for users' PC and events get cleared straight away.
I have only come up with a HUGE if/elif/elif/... piece of script in
event/transform, where there could be something like the following:
Code:
if evt.device = "switch1":
if evt.summary.contains("GigabitEthernet1/0/2"): # backbone
evt.severity = 5
elif evt.summary.contains("GigabitEthernet1/0/3"): # backbone
evt.severity = 5
...
elif evt.device = "switch2":
if evt.summary.contains("GigabitEthernet1/0/1"): # backbone
evt.severity = 5
elif evt.summary.contains("GigabitEthernet1/0/3"): # server
evt.severity = 4
...
...
The problem is the size of such a script (there couldt be hundreds of cases),
potential performance issues and difficulty to manage it and to respond to
network changes. Does anyone have an idea how to meet the goal in an easier way?
Thank you,
Martin
