How Health Monitoring Works
Based on the aforementioned configuration settings, the program gets from the database a list of devices to check. The monitoring results are ultimately stored in a log file using the following line format for each device:
Device_Name,IP,Device_IP,Phone_Number,Date,Time, Result_Status
Each line is a syslog message generated by Health Monitoring, and contains the string identifier,
HeaLth_MoNiToR
which is used by the alarm trigger. Moreover, the “Result_Status” field will have two leading strings:
It is for this reason that the trigger expression needs to be restricted further to: HeaLth_MoNiToR.*NOK in order for users to get messages that only relate to failure, and not be bombarded by a large amount of unnecessary messages.
