Provide checks for Icinga based on event contents

[widhalmt]

Hi,

I'd like to have Icinga checks for certain events.

I think the easiest way for the user would be to make them IcingaCLI checks.

While I can think of a lot of different ways this might be useful, a simple one might be sufficient. For example:

• Use the filters from one of the "Event Type" configurations
• Add simple conditions like "[icinga][severity]": "Critical"
• Add thresholds like "warning: 1", "critical:5"
• Add timewindows like "15 minutes"
• "A check has a name" like "criticalicinga"

The check could then work like icingacli elasticsearch criticalicinga -h [hostname]. If there are more than 5 events matching the filters of the Eventtype and have the field [icinga][severity] set to "Critical" on that host it returns Critical.

Cheers,

Isn't that already covered with https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-elasticsearch/blob/master/application/clicommands/CheckCommand.php ?

Seems, we are lacking some documentation, then. ;-) I'm on it.
