NAME

       action_notify - Generic notification handler for Torrus monitor

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

       This program is designed for usage from a monitor action only. It takes the arguments from
       environment variables, as described in action-type "exec" in Torrus XML Configuration
       Guide.

       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.
