Adding puppet run alerts
Help Please,
I'm trying to add a puppet run succeeded/failed alerts to my observium alerts page. Has anyone succeeded in this endeavor?
Umm...
How would one access such information?

Adam,
When you run puppet it spits out a .yaml status file.
The course of action I think I need to take is as follows: 1) Write a snmp script to pull status from the .yaml file 2) Somehow get Observium to see it in snmpd via custom OID? 3) Move the OID to the alerts page somehow?
Any help with these steps? better steps?
Thanks

The puppet status is on each client? Or is it central?

I'd head down the unix-agent path for this one. Then just write the corresponding app component for observium.

Sure, but we'll need to invent some infrastructure for storing this data in a generic but useful way and indicating it somewhere.
Man, this stuff is hard!

Indeed. Temporary "easy way out" is to create a status from the agent, with the code internally checking if the date is x days ago or not, but it would be better to actually store the date and make an alert out of it!
(Even more) food for thought.. :/

Why not just make the agent do the sums of time since last run/success..?
Then all you are doing is maybe collecting a "last status" and a timestamp.
If timestamp > threshold...
I'd suggest sticking to seconds is probably best. I can't think of many off my head that operate in milliseconds.
But I do defer to your own preference.
Hell, we don't even use puppet (& honestly, I'd have thought this would be a built in module for puppet to alert on???)
