[Bigsister-general] Alarms/paging/newbie


OK, I'm very new to BigSister.  Just got it to the point of getting it
to email alarm properly on loss of connectivity, or other red
conditions.

Peter Varlien asked a question a week ago and I didn't see an answer to
it.  I will need the same functionality so I ask again.

Is there a way to notify on a staus change, then notify on a second
worse status change?

I've printed the BigSister book from Joerg's site, and read most of it.


First, is there another documentation source I should be using instead
of/in-conjunction-with the BigSister-Manual2108.pdf? 

Here are some more questions I have:

I can set msgs in bb_event_generator.cfg, but there is no matching
Health Check command.  It probably maps to syslog and eventlog and maybe
to snmp, but where do I find that info?

syslog mentions "See below for a description of the format".  There is
no description.

Does "hostname proto=udp ping" work?  I have no firewall in place at
either end, but can't get it to work at all.  I found a reference to
external and got icp ping via external ping program working, but can't
ascertain why "hostname proto=udp ping" doesn't work.
