what the call

this script helps you find out what the last call was about by checking notifications for multiple icinga instances.

You probably need to modify the list of icinga_instances and maybe the notification_filter setting in the script before usage.

Usage

usage: wtc.py [-h] --instance INSTANCE [--lookback LOOKBACK] [--limit LIMIT] [--filter FILTER] [--user USER] [--password PASSWORD] [--show-urls] [--watch] [--watch-interval WATCH_INTERVAL] [--onetime ONETIME]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --instance INSTANCE, -i INSTANCE
                        one or more icinga instances to monitor (default: None)
  --lookback LOOKBACK, -l LOOKBACK
                        how long to look back for notifications (default: -1 days)
  --limit LIMIT         number of the last entries to display (default: 10)
  --filter FILTER       regex filter for notification contact name (default: .*)
  --user USER, -u USER  Login User for Icinga (default: current user login name)
  --password PASSWORD, -p PASSWORD
                        Login Password for Icinga (default: None)
  --show-urls           show URLs instead of using xdg-open to open in the default browser (useful for remote shells etc) (default: False)
  --watch, -w           run the output in infinite loop, refreshing automatically (default: False)
  --watch-interval WATCH_INTERVAL
                        interval for updates in watch mode in seconds (default: 120)
  --onetime ONETIME, -o ONETIME
                        only output calls once and exit afterwards (default: False)

Args that start with '--' (eg. --instance) can also be set in a config file (~/.config/wtc.yml). The config file uses YAML syntax and must represent a YAML 'mapping' (for details, see
http://learn.getgrav.org/advanced/yaml). If an arg is specified in more than one place, then commandline values override config file values which override defaults.

as described in the help output you can configure these settings via a configuration file in ~/.config/wtc.yml as well.

Example Configuration File

---
instance:
  - "https://icinga1.example.com"
  - "https://icinga2.example.com"

filter: '.+call.+'
