7.6. Using the Sample Alert Agents

Pacemaker provides several sample alert agents, installed in /usr/share/pacemaker/alerts by default.
While these sample scripts may be copied and used as-is, they are provided mainly as templates to be edited to suit your purposes. See their source code for the full set of instance attributes they support.

Example 7.7. Sending cluster events as SNMP traps

<configuration>
    <alerts>
        <alert id="snmp_alert" path="/path/to/alert_snmp.sh">
            <instance_attributes id="config_for_alert_snmp">
                <nvpair id="trap_node_states" name="trap_node_states" value="all"/>
            </instance_attributes>
            <meta_attributes id="config_for_timestamp">
                <nvpair id="ts_fmt" name="timestamp-format"
                    value="%Y-%m-%d,%H:%M:%S.%01N"/>
            </meta_attributes>
            <recipient id="snmp_destination" value="192.168.1.2"/>
        </alert>
    </alerts>
</configuration>

Example 7.8. Sending cluster events as e-mails

    <configuration>
        <alerts>
            <alert id="smtp_alert" path="/path/to/alert_smtp.sh">
              <instance_attributes id="config_for_alert_smtp">
                  <nvpair id="email_sender" name="email_sender"
                      value="donotreply@example.com"/>
              </instance_attributes>
              <recipient id="smtp_destination" value="admin@example.com"/>
            </alert>
        </alerts>
    </configuration>
