28.7. Creating and modifying a cluster alert

Procedure

1. Create a simple alert. Since no alert ID value is specified, the system creates an alert ID value of alert.

   # pcs alert create path=/my/path

2. Add a recipient of rec_value to the alert. Since this command does not specify a recipient ID, the value of alert-recipient is used as the recipient ID.

   # pcs alert recipient add alert value=rec_value

3. Add a second recipient of rec_value2 to the alert. This command specifies a recipient ID of my-recipient for the recipient.

   # pcs alert recipient add alert value=rec_value2 id=my-recipient

4. Display the alert configuration.

   # pcs alert config
   Alerts:
    Alert: alert (path=/my/path)
     Recipients:
      Recipient: alert-recipient (value=rec_value)
      Recipient: my-recipient (value=rec_value2)

5. Add a second alert, with an alert ID of my-alert.

   # pcs alert create id=my-alert path=/path/to/script description=alert_description options option1=value1 opt=val meta timeout=50s timestamp-format="%H%B%S"

6. Add a recipient for that alert for the second alert with a recipient value of my-other-recipient. Since no recipient ID is specified, the system provides a recipient id of my-alert-recipient.

   # pcs alert recipient add my-alert value=my-other-recipient

7. Display the alert configuration.

   # pcs alert
   Alerts:
    Alert: alert (path=/my/path)
     Recipients:
      Recipient: alert-recipient (value=rec_value)
      Recipient: my-recipient (value=rec_value2)
    Alert: my-alert (path=/path/to/script)
     Description: alert_description
     Options: opt=val option1=value1
     Meta options: timestamp-format=%H%B%S timeout=50s
     Recipients:
      Recipient: my-alert-recipient (value=my-other-recipient)

8. Modify the alert values for the alert my-alert.

   # pcs alert update my-alert options option1=newvalue1 meta timestamp-format="%H%M%S"

9. Modify the alert values for the recipient my-alert-recipient.

   # pcs alert recipient update my-alert-recipient options option1=new meta timeout=60s

10. Display the alert configuration.

    # pcs alert
    Alerts:
     Alert: alert (path=/my/path)
      Recipients:
       Recipient: alert-recipient (value=rec_value)
       Recipient: my-recipient (value=rec_value2)
     Alert: my-alert (path=/path/to/script)
      Description: alert_description
      Options: opt=val option1=newvalue1
      Meta options: timestamp-format=%H%M%S timeout=50s
      Recipients:
       Recipient: my-alert-recipient (value=my-other-recipient)
        Options: option1=new
        Meta options: timeout=60s

11. Remove the recipient my-alert-recipient from alert.

    # pcs alert recipient remove my-recipient

12. Display the alert configuration.

    # pcs alert
    Alerts:
     Alert: alert (path=/my/path)
      Recipients:
       Recipient: alert-recipient (value=rec_value)
     Alert: my-alert (path=/path/to/script)
      Description: alert_description
      Options: opt=val option1=newvalue1
      Meta options: timestamp-format="%M%B%S" timeout=50s
      Recipients:
       Recipient: my-alert-recipient (value=my-other-recipient)
        Options: option1=new
        Meta options: timeout=60s

13. Remove the alert myalert from the configuration.

    # pcs alert remove myalert

14. Display the alert configuration.

    # pcs alert
    Alerts:
     Alert: alert (path=/my/path)
      Recipients:
       Recipient: alert-recipient (value=rec_value)
