Monitoring::Availability(3) Calculate Availability Data from

SYNOPSIS


use Monitoring::Availability;
my $ma = Monitoring::Availability->new();

DESCRIPTION

This module calculates the availability for hosts/server from given logfiles. The Logfileformat is Nagios/Icinga only.

CONSTRUCTOR

new ( [ARGS] )

Creates an "Monitoring::Availability" object. "new" takes at least the logs parameter. Arguments are in key-value pairs.
rpttimeperiod
report timeperiod. defines a timeperiod for this report. Will use 24x7 if not specified.
assumeinitialstates
Assume the initial host/service state if none is found, default: yes
assumestateretention
Assume state retention, default: yes
assumestatesduringnotrunning
Assume state during times when the monitoring process is not running, default: yes
includesoftstates
Include soft states in the calculation. Only hard states are used otherwise, default: no
initialassumedhoststate
Assumed host state if none is found, default: unspecified

valid options are: unspecified, current, up, down and unreachable

initialassumedservicestate
Assumed service state if none is found, default: unspecified

valid options are: unspecified, current, ok, warning, unknown and critical

backtrack
Go back this amount of days to find initial states, default: 4
showscheduleddowntime
Include downtimes in calculation, default: yes
timeformat
Time format for the log output, default: %s
verbose
verbose mode
breakdown
Breakdown availability into 'months', 'weeks', 'days', 'none'

adds additional 'breakdown' hash to each result with broken down results

METHODS

calculate

 calculate()

Calculate the availability

start
Timestamp of start
end
Timestamp of end
log_string
String containing the logs
log_file
File containing the logs
log_dir
Directory containing *.log files
log_livestatus
Array with logs from a livestatus query

 a sample query could be:
 selectall_arrayref(GET logs...\nColumns: time type options, {Slice => 1})
log_iterator
 Iterator object for logentry objects. For example a L<MongoDB::Cursor> object.
hosts
array with hostnames for which the report should be generated
services
array with hashes of services for which the report should be generated. The array should look like this:

 [{host => 'hostname', service => 'description'}, ...]
initial_states
if you use the ``current'' option for initialassumedservicestate or initialassumedhoststate you have to provide the current states with a hash like this:

  {
    hosts => {
     'hostname' => 'ok',
     ...
    },
    services => {
     'hostname' => {
         'description' =>  'warning',
         ...
      }
    }
  }

valid values for hosts are: up, down and unreachable

valid values for services are: ok, warning, unknown and critical

get_condensed_logs

 get_condensed_logs()

returns an array of hashes with the condensed log used for this report

get_full_logs

 get_full_logs()

returns an array of hashes with the full log used for this report

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to <http://github.com/sni/Monitoring-Availability/issues>.

DEBUGING

You may enable the debug mode by setting MONITORING_AVAILABILITY_DEBUG environment variable. This will create a logfile: /tmp/Monitoring-Availability-Debug.log which gets overwritten with every calculation. You will need the Log4Perl module to create this logfile.
