[mrtg] Re: Email Notification

[Anton Sparrius]

For Linux, I use the following :

In the normal config file add the following line  (this is just for Input
Threshold.  You can also add Output, and other options, but to keep it
simple)

ThreshMaxI[melb]: 675
ThreshProgI[melb]: /etc/mrtg/run/email_thresh

(Replace the path to where ever you put the script)

The script consist of

#!/bin/sh
echo -e "Device          : $1\\nThreshold Value : $2\\nCurrent Value   :
$3\\nDate/Time       : `date`\\n" | mail -s "THRESHOLD ALERT : '$1' Passed
$2 Threshold" info at yourisp.com

You can change the Subject line and body to whatever you like.  From memory
the variables ($1, $2 etc) are listed in the docs/faq under Threshold.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Anton
