However, with a <br />bit of work, y
ou can have Smokeping trigger an external API when an <br />alert is triggered/raised/cleared. From the docs:*<br /><br />to* /(mandatory setting)/<br />//Either an email address to send alerts to, or the name of a program to <br />execute when an alert matches. To call a program, the first character of <br />the *to* value must be a pipe symbol "|". The program will the be called <br />whenever an alert matches, using the following 5 arguments (except if <br />*edgetrigger* is 'yes'; see below): *name-of-alert*, *target*, <br />*loss-pattern*, *rtt-pattern*, *hostname*. You can also provide a comma <br />separated list of addresses and programs.<br /><br /><br />- Peter<br /><br /><br />On 7/10/2013 12:56 AM, Dharmapriya Thusitha wrote:<br />> hi ,<br />> is there any way to get smokeping alert data through API.(when an <br />> alert occurred, get that alert through API ).<br />> thanks<br />> thusitha<br />><br />><br />> On Mon, Jul 8, 2
