why
Aquisition is launched by cron every minute.
In case of problem, the administrator received therefor plenty of mail
especially during week-ends or holydays.
The alarm system comes to reduce the number of mails sent
how it works
output error are saved in a file (by module), to be seen from all aquisition run.
this allow to detect :
- a new problem : a mail is sent
- a problem which continue : no mail
- a problem wich disappear : send a mail for end of problem
To avoid forgot the problems, a reminder mail is sent once a day, as log as the problem
is not fixed.
what do you see
the config page allow to see all alarms in a single table.
An alarm is displayed with the alarm's date's begin and the alarme text.
the bottom of module display or module configuration display the same information
if alarm exists.
colors
- a stopped module without problem : black
- a stopped module with an alarm : orange
- a running module without problem : green
- a running module with an alarm : red
