Chapter 7. Monitoring
Note
You can halt or redirect almost all probe notifications by replying to a notification emails
with a variation of the command
ack suspend host
. However, you cannot halt Satellite
probe notifications by responding to a probe with
ack suspend host
or other redirect
responses. These probes require you to change the notifications within the web interface
of the Satellite.
7.4.4. Filtering Notifications
Since notifications can be generated whenever a probe changes state, simple changes in
your network can result in a flood of notifications. The creation, cancellation, and applica-
tion of Notification filters is discussed in detail in Section 6.9.2.1
Notification
⇒
Filters
.
7.4.5. Deleting Notification Methods
Theoretically, removing notification methods should be as easy as creating them. After all,
you must populate no fields to conduct the deletion and a button exists for this explicit
purpose. However, existing relationships between methods and probes can complicate this
process. Follow these steps to remove a notification method:
1. Log into the RHN website as an Organization Administrator or Monitoring Admin-
istrator.
2. Navigate to the
Monitoring
⇒
Notifications
page and click the name of the method
to be removed.
3. On the
User Details
⇒
Notification Methods
tab, click
delete method
. If the
method is not associated with any probes, you are presented with a confirmation
page. Click
Confirm Deletion
. The notification method is removed.
Tip
Since both the notification method name and address can be edited, consider up-
dating the method rather than deleting it. This redirects notifications from all probes
using the method without having to edit each probe and create a new notification
method.
4. If the method is associated with one or more probes, you are presented with a list of
the probes using the method and the systems to which the probes are attached instead
of a confirmation page. Click the probe name to go directly to the
System Details
⇒
Probes
tab.
