[Bigsister-devel] idea for "simple" escalation

[Craig C. <cr...@bl...>]

Hi all,

I see there's been a long discussion (albeit infrequently) of implementing
escalation...

Is an alarm passed "thru" bb_event_generator.cfg parsing each time it
generates alerts? What if we had a new equate that could be tested in the
PAGER{} rules. It would go a long way to solving escalation if I could just
say...


*.* delay=0 [etc etc] mail=foobar
PAGER{$mail = "foobar" and $age < 1800}  mai...@us...
PAGER{$mail = "foobar" and $age >= 1800} mai...@us...,tw...@us...

I just want to send to more/different destinations as the age of the alarm
increases. I don't need new/additional alarms (eg, I don't need extra
alarms as the host.test changes states grn->yel->red.)

thoughts?
