IPDR Watchdog
What is the use of this tool ?
Real time IPDR monitoring system that alerts when IPDR is down by sending email and syslog.
How it works ?
- First it checks the last log timestamp with current system timestamp and check the difference is below 1min.
- Then it check for the latest flush log and compares the timestamp with system timestamp and the difference should be in less than 1min.
- It also check flush is not equal to 0.
- If the above condition fails then it send the syslog
- And trisul-hub will send mail if email server is configured and enabled
Procedure before running the script
- Login as admin and go to (profile0 –> email config)
- Configure email on trisul server
- Start the email notification
- Configure alert whom you want to send mail
- Go to profile0 → All groups alert → and click edit option → change Send to Syslog/Email to Alert
- Log into trisul server and assign a cronjob to run ipdr_watchdog script or you can run manually.
