Custom Viewing Options
When viewing the RSS page you can send GET arguments to the page so that it displays/filters based on different things.
These are regular expression based as well so you can get as fancy as you like.
Custom Options:
title – Set the title of the feed
maxitems – Set the number of alerts returned
alert_type – Filter by alert type (Problem/Recovery)
hostname – Filter by hostname
mon_name – Filter by service monitor name
mon_status – Filter by service monitor status (CRIT/WARN/OK/UNKNOWN)
mon_output – Filter by service monitor output (search for something in the output)
An example of how to display the feed with the following settings:
– only show alerts for machines that start with “dev-“
– a title of “Dev's Alerts”
uptime-hostname:9999/rss-generator.php Alerts&hostname=dev-*
(when typed in a browser it will be converted to:
http://uptime-hostname:9999/rss-generator.php?title=Dev's%20Alerts&hostname=dev-*)
You can of course add all or none of those options in any order you like; and remember that they are regular expressions.
