How do I set Ping Outage in Statseeker 5.6.1?

To set ping outage in Statseeker 5.6.1 ask Support for the debug package and install it via the Manage Packages Admin Tool GUI page.

This package does not patch the product behaviour, it only provides a binary that can be used on the CLI to set the ping_outage for a device or group of devices.

The next release of Statseeker (5.6.2) will have this product functionality so that this package is not necessary.

The file name is:

scs_debug_561_set_ping_outage-0.0.2.scs

Usage

/usr/local/statseeker/scs_debug_561_set_ping_outage-0.0.2/bin/scs-ping-admin update [OPTIONS]

Options:

  -h,--help  Print this help message and exit

  -d,--device TEXT ... Excludes: --group  Name of Device to update

  -g,--group TEXT ... Excludes: --device  Device Group to update

  -o,--outage UNIT [45]  REQUIRED  Ping Outage Time

  -p,--poller TEXT [LOCAL]  Poller Name

Examples

You can do devices or groups like below:

statseeker$ /usr/local/statseeker/scs_debug_561_set_ping_outage-0.0.2/bin/scs-ping-admin update -d Bangalore-rtr -o 90

Setting Bangalore-rtr outage to 90

statseeker$ /usr/local/statseeker/scs_debug_561_set_ping_outage-0.0.2/bin/scs-ping-admin update -g CDT -o 90

Setting ~CDT-Palo-Alto-Firewall-Connections-retired outage to 90

Setting fedex-172.16.34.232 outage to 90

Setting VPN1 outage to 90

Setting ~CDT-Extreme3-retired outage to 90

Setting ~CDT-IP-Interface-Stats-retired outage to 90

If a group or device name has a space or some other special character in it that character will need "escaping" with a \.

e.g.

Brisbane\ RTR
