1. Introduction
Python script that monitors Abiquo API and notifies new events through email based on rules.
Rules are stored in a SQLite database, which is queried by Notifier.
This script works with Abiquo 2.3 and Abiquo 2.4 API
2. Configuration
* Install the required python libraries:
python-dateutil
python-pycurl
pytz
* Edit notifier.cfg and set correct values. More information at:
http://wiki.abiquo.com/display/ABI23/Abiquo+Events+Notifier
* Initialize rules database
./init_rules_db.py
3. Basic example
* Create a rule that monitor VAPP_CREATE and VAPP_DELETE actions performed by user mmorata, and notify it to user sgirones.
Note that user sgirones must have a valid email.
# ./add_rule.py --user sgirones --action VAPP_CREATE,VAPP_DELETE --owner mmorata
* Verify rules are correctly created:
# ./list_rules.py
--------------------------------------------------
User: sgirones
Actions: ['VAPP_CREATE', 'VAPP_DELETE']
Owners: ['mmorata']
--------------------------------------------------
* Run the Events Notifier
# ./main.py &
4. Rule's examples
* Notify all users when their deploys/undeploys have finished:
# ./add_rule.py -u all -a VAPP_POWERON,VAPP_POWEROFF
* Notify cloud admin user all criticals:
# ./add_rule.py -u sgirones -s CRITICAL
4. Final notes
* Add rules while Notifier is running is ALLOWED. It will load rules every time it analizes events.
* Valid actions are those listed by:

* Valid severity levels are those listed by:
