SYNOPSIS

 <action name="notify">
   <param name="action-type" value="exec" />
   <param name="command">
     $TORRUS_BIN/action_notify
   </param>
   <param name="launch-when" value="set" />
 </action>

DESCRIPTION

The handler reads its configuration from <notify-siteconfig.pl>, a small Perl file which defines the notification paths for various conditions.

Example:

  %Torrus::Notify::programs =
    (
     'mailto' => '$TORRUS_BIN/action_printemail | /usr/bin/mail $ARG1',
     'page' => '/usr/bin/echo $TORRUS_NODEPATH:$TORRUS_MONITOR ' .
     '>> /tmp/monitor.$ARG1.log'
     );

  %Torrus::Notify::policies =
    (
     'CUST_A' => {
         'match' => sub { $ENV{'TORRUS_P_notify_policy'} eq 'A' },
         'severity' => {
             '3' => [ 'mailto:aaa@domain.com',
                      'mailto:bbb@domain.com' ],
             '5' => [ 'page:1234', 'mailto:boss@domain.com' ] } } );

In this example, we define two message handlers: e-mail sender and a dummy replacement for a pager program. Then we define the notification policies. For the customer A, we define the policy so that the parameter "notify-policy" should match the name "A". The parameter is defined in the datasource tree and marks only those leaves that belong to this customer. Then, depending on the monitor severity, different notification paths are defined. For severity values higher or equal 3, aaa@domain.com and bbb@domain.com will receive the email notifications, and for severity higher than or equal 5 all recipients will receive the notification.

The "match" argument is a Perl subroutine, and can depend on various parameters, such as time of day or day of the week, the tree name, and so on.
