Hi All,

I modified the email template usertracking.txt to include load averages. A simple cut and paste from the appropriate section of loadalert.txt. The variables aren't replaced?

I get as an email:

Code: Select all

lfd on {snip}: Excessive processes running under user {snip}
 From: root@{snip}
 To: root@{snip}
 
Time:          Tue Mar 11 10:41:29 2014 -0500
Account:       {snip}
Process Count: 32 (Not killed)

Load:
1 Min Load Avg:          [loadavg1]
5 Min Load Avg:          [loadavg5]
15 Min Load Avg:         [loadavg15]
Running/Total Processes: [totprocs]

Process Information:
{snip}

Any reason the load average replacements don't work?

Thanks,
Michael

Only the variables listed in the specific default template are available for that template. You cannot mix variables from other templates.

Well, that's not fun. Feature request? e.g. access to all variables from any template?

Or is there a way to add Bash commands? Being able to add a simple 'uptime' would accomplish the same goal of determining if the number of processes running at the trigger point are actually excessive.

Best,
Michael

Is there no way to add additional variables to other templates?
I Was looking into changing the account modification template today, so I could see which IP changed the account passwords.
Would be handy to be able to add a generic set of variables to templates like ip/time etc.
