This is a collection of tools and scripts to allow your vast collection of linux servers to forward alerts to a single collection point for monitoring by yourself or operators.
The binaries (and source) provided are for the alert collector
daemon task and tools to generate and cancel alerts from your
own scripts. No source is provided for the java gui at this point as it is
still a hack in progress. It is fully functional as shipped if
you stick to the default port of 9003.
There are also some scripts provided to make using the tookit
a little easier.
There are sample scripts in the samples/ directory to give you an idea of how you can raise and cancel alerts.
I have also thrown in a few scripts you can use to automate recovery of
some events rather than just throwing up an alert. These are samples
only and can be found under the automation/ directory.
These can provide a base for your own alert automation as it is a
well structured set of examples based on a control file. The
documentation page for the automation tools
provides suggestions on how you
can enhance this for a large environment.
All the documentation is available from the chapter index
menu above, you should read the chapters in order.
If the menu dowsn't show on your browser you could try
the static index page.
