Hi Jan...
Personally, I use notifier in the crontab -- running it out of snipslogd
it will take input from stdin for the event in-question (so you only get
alerted when something goes up/down).
You might try tweaking the entry in snipslogd to cat the event log
through notifier or to just redirect stdin to /dev/null and then
reinvoke the notifier script on its own (ie. no stdin) -- HOWEVER, I do
not know if this works or is "supported," persay (ie. YMMV).
There may be further tips in the top of the script (notifier.pl) that
may be of use to you:
-- begin
# [...]
# Run this script every 5-10 minutes from crontab. Adjust $crontime
# accordingly.
# You can also run this script from snipslogd, so that you get notified as
# soon as a device comes up or goes down. In this mode, it reads stdin for
# eventlog format data, and the time of the event is set to -1 sec. In
# this mode, it notifies for all the events read from stdin (i.e. all
# severities). e.g.
# [...]
-- end
Hope this somehow helps...
