set downtime and ack's in S4N

[tfhartmann]

I would love to be able to use s4n as a standalone interface to Nagios for users and op's, and let them acknowledge alerts, and set downtimes that would get passed back...

this has been a goal of mine since day one :) and it should be achievable using mk livestatus

[tfhartmann]

Anyone have any thoughts on the best way to do this? does mk_livestatus let us pass this back? (I didn't think it did) We could script something against the cgi's but I feel like there's got to be a better way...

Livestatus permits to add comments, acknowledgements, downtimes, etc. View configuration data for a host, or service. To know what livestatus can do, simply fire up the demo web site of MK Multisite, eveyrthing is done through Livestatus. Not CGIs or flat file parsing.

@tfhartmann I have assigned this to myself but if you would like to take it on let me know, otherwise I'm happy to do it :)

I have started on ack's, keep you posted :)

[skywalka]

I have added a script to acknowledge service alerts in nagios via MK Livestatus:

Example Usage: index=nagios src_host="blah" name="foo" nagiosevent="SERVICE ALERT" state="HARD" NOT status="OK" | head 1 | eval comment="it's a trap" | dedup src_host,name | liveserviceack | table _time src_host name liveserviceack

FYI: the 'comment' variable in the "Example usage" (above) gets parsed by the script to feed to nagios via MK Livestatus.

I have updated the Livestatus Service Acknowledgement Dashboard to allow users to acknowledge service problems by clicking on the service 'name' which submits the acknowledgement to MK Livestatus using a drilldown link to another dashboard :)

I have added a Livestatus Downtime Dashboard to allow users to schedule downtime for service problems by clicking on the service 'name' which submits the downtime to MK Livestatus using a drilldown link to another dashboard :)
