Hello, I am unable to figure out how to create an alert to notify me when our VPN boxes go into failover mode.
Observium recognizes the event, but I would like a notification. The following output is from the poller. The normal condition value for “Failover Primary unit” should be ‘active’.
o Status Count 2 +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-------+--------+---------+---------+---------------------+ | Descr | Type | Index | Origin | Value | Status | Last Changed | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-------+--------+---------+---------+---------------------+ | Failover Primary unit | cisco-firewall-hardware-primary-state | 6 | snmp | standby | warning | 2020-06-07 07:30:03 | | Failover Secondary unit (this device) | cisco-firewall-hardware-secondary-state | 7 | snmp | active | warning | 2020-06-07 07:30:04 | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-------+--------+---------+---------+——————————+
I’ve tried several strings to make this work, but the Alerter either marks it as OK or does not show the above Statuses at all.
* status_event equal warn * status_event ne ok * “Failover Primary unit” ne active * also without quotes and with underscores between * “Failover Primary unit” equal warn * also without quotes and with underscores between * cisco-firewall-hardware-primary-state equal warn * cisco-firewall-hardware-primary-state equal standby
Could anyone assist me in creating this Alert Checker? Thank you
