Introduction

Change the default mail notification of Icinga server to hipchat notification using ruby code. This will allow a single place of management of all the notification and alerts across organization. Let that be service,host or business level alerts all can be managed and monitored using hipchat and hubot will give certain advantage over traditional alerting system.

  1. Proactive and reactive alerting

  2. Managed monitoring

  3. Single place of all the alerts

  4. Better communication and collaboration

  5. Integration with multiple tools in CI cycle

    • Jenkins

    • Chef

    • Bitbucket/Github

    • Jira

    • Confluence …. Etc

As per plan once Elastalert is implemented Hipchat will support business and revenue alerts, and hopefully with event based proactive/reactive handling or issues.

Ruby Script

Need to create a Ruby script in order to make sure that we can send messages from a single server. Idea here is to be able to configure icinga server to send message to custom user groups and Hipchat account.

We are going to use a Ruby gem called hipchat which will support API version 2.0. In order for script to work we need to install 2 gems,

  1. Hipchat

  2. Trollop

# gem install hipchat

# gem install trollop
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'hipchat'

require 'trollop'


#

# Provides a hipchat notifier with minimal requirements.

# Post the nofication to room

#

# Docs: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Exception+and+Report+Handlers

#

# Install - add the following to your client.rb:

# gem install hipchat \# Configure CLI entries

# gem install trollop \# configure commandline option parser

module HipChat

class NotifyRoomCli

def initialize(api_token, room_name, msg, options={})

defaults = { hipchat_options: {api_version: 'v2',server_url: 'https://api.hipchat.com'}, msg_options: {:notify => true}, excluded_envs: [], msg_prefix: ''}

options = defaults.merge(options)

@api_token = api_token

@room_name = room_name

@msg = msg

@hipchat_options = options[:hipchat_options]

@msg_options = options[:msg_options]

@msg_prefix = options[:msg_prefix]

@excluded_envs = options[:excluded_envs]

@to_user=options[:name]

case

when options[:alerttype].match(/warning/i)

@color = 'yellow'

when options[:alerttype].match(/critical/i)

@color = 'red'

when options[:alerttype].match(/info/i)

@color = 'green'

end if options[:alerttype]

end

def report

if @msg

@msg_options[:color]=(@color || 'yellow')

client = HipChat::Client.new(@api_token, @hipchat_options)

client[@room_name].send(@to_user, [@msg_prefix, @msg].join(' '), @msg_options)

end

end

end

end

begin

opts = Trollop::options do

opt :message, "Use monkey mode" ,:type => :string \# flag --monkey, default false

opt :name, "Monkey name", :type => :string \# string --name <s>, default nil

opt :apitoken, "HIPCHAT API Token 2.0", :type=> :string

opt :roomname, "Room id from Hipchat", :type=> :string

opt :alerttype, "warning/critical/info", :type => :string

end

[ :message, :apitoken, :roomname].each do |key|

Trollop::die "arguments required --\#{key}" unless opts[key]

end

hipchat=HipChat::NotifyRoomCli.new(opts[:apitoken],opts[:roomname],opts[:message],opts)

hipchat.report

rescue Errno::ENOENT => err

abort "hip_chat_cli: \#{err.message}"

end

Script used on server

following is a script which should which we need to configure to use this code with a icinga server

Change in command.conf for Icinga server

This will change the Icinga server to support the hipchat adapter ,

Example notification

Roadmap

  1. Add hipchat user for Icinga server

  2. Configure to talk to groups using token from user settings in

    hipchat

  3. Change notification files and update token+room_ids

All these steps are required to make sure hubot can take actions on events. For now hubot can not take actions if the user Hubot and notifying user is matched. It is required to prevent race conditions.
