How to push an alert into Trisul dispatcher from bash

On Ubuntu , the Trisul dispatcher reads from /var/log/syslog and matches all lines using a Regex.

It then formats and pushes to

1. Email
2. Microsoft Teams via WebHooks

If you push a syslog message in the following format into syslog it will make to the automatic email alert delivery system.

“Alert:probe0:context0:0,0,0,0,0,0,IPDRDOWN,TEst ipdr stopped flushing”

logger -s -t trisul_flushd "Alert:probe0:context0:0,0,0,0,0,0,IPDRDOWN,TEst ipdr stopped flushing"

The fields are

• Alert:probe0:context0: – source of the alert
• Timestamp tv_sec
• Timestamp tv_usec
• Source IP
• Port
• Dest IP
• Port
• SigID – short name for alert
• Message
