Macros

Macros are shorthands to either portion of rules or pure SQL enhanced with placeholders.

You can define your own macros in your config.php.

Example macro-implementation of Debian-Devices

$config['alert']['macros']['rule']['is_debian'] = '%devices.features ~ "@debian@"';

And in the Rule:

...  && %macros.is_debian = "1" && ...

This Example-macro is a Boolean-macro, it applies a form of filter to the set of results defined by the rule. All macros that are not unary should return Boolean.

You can only apply Equal or Not-Equal Operations on Boolean-macros where True is represented by "1" and False by "0".

Example

((%ports.ifInOctets_rate*8) / %ports.ifSpeed)*100

Device (Boolean)

Entity: %macros.device

Description: Only select devices that aren't deleted, ignored or disabled.

Source: (%devices.disabled = "0" && %devices.ignore = "0")

Device is up (Boolean)

Entity: %macros.device_up

Description: Only select devices that are up.

Implies: %macros.device

Source: (%devices.status = "1" && %macros.device)

Device is down (Boolean)

Entity: %macros.device_down

Description: Only select devices that are down.

Implies: %macros.device

Source: (%devices.status = "0" && %macros.device)

Port (Boolean)

Entity: %macros.port

Description: Only select ports that aren't deleted, ignored or disabled.

Source: (%ports.deleted = "0" && %ports.ignore = "0" && %ports.disabled = "0")

Port is up (Boolean)

Entity: %macros.port_up

Description: Only select ports that are up and also should be up.

Implies: %macros.port

Source: (%ports.ifOperStatus = "up" && %ports.ifAdminStatus = "up" && %macros.port)

Port is down (Boolean)

Entity: %macros.port_down

Description: Only select ports that are down.

Implies: %macros.port

Source: (%ports.ifOperStatus = "down" && %ports.ifAdminStatus != "down" && %macros.port)

Port-Usage in Percent (Decimal)

Entity: %macros.port_usage_perc

Description: Return port-usage in percent.

Source: ((%ports.ifInOctets_rate*8) / %ports.ifSpeed)*100

Time

Now (Datetime)

Entity: %macros.now

Description: Alias of MySQL's NOW()

Source: NOW()

Past N Minutes (Datetime)

Entity: %macros.past_$m

Description: Returns a MySQL Timestamp dated $ Minutes in the past. $ can only be a supported Resolution.

Example: %macros.past_5m is Last 5 Minutes.

Resolution: 5,10,15,30,60

Source: DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL $ MINUTE)

Sensors (Boolean)

Entity: %macros.sensor

Description: Only select sensors that aren't ignored.

Source: (%sensors.sensor_alert = 1)

Entity: %macros.sensor_port_link

Description: Only selects sensors that have a port linked to them, the port is up and the device is up.

Source: (%sensors.entity_link_type = 'port' && %sensors.entity_link_index = %ports.ifIndex && %macros.port_up && %macros.device_up))

Misc (Boolean)

Packet Loss

Entity: (%macros.packet_loss_5m)

Description: Packet loss % value for the device within the last 5 minutes.

Example: %macros.packet_loss_5m > 50

Entity: (%macros.packet_loss_15m)

Description: Packet loss % value for the device within the last 15 minutes.

Example: %macros.packet_loss_15m > 50

Ports in usage perc (Int)

Entity: ((%ports.ifInOctets_rate*8)/%ports.ifSpeed)*100

Description: Port in used more than 50%

Example: `%macros.port_in_usage_perc > 50

Ports out usage perc (Int)

Entity: ((%ports.ifOutOctets_rate*8)/%ports.ifSpeed)*100

Description: Port out used more than 50%

Example: `%macros.port_out_usage_perc > 50

Ports now down (Boolean)

Entity: %ports.ifOperStatus != %ports.ifOperStatus_prev && %ports.ifOperStatus_prev = "up" && %ports.ifAdminStatus = "up"

Description: Ports that were previously up and have now gone down.

Example: %macros.port_now_down = "1"

Example: %macros.device_component_down_junos = "1"

Device component down [Cisco]

Entity: %sensors.sensor_current != "1" && %sensors.sensor_current != "5" && %sensors.sensor_type ~ "^cisco.*State$"

Description: Device component is down such as Fan, PSU, etc for Cisco devices.

Example: %macros.device_component_down_cisco = "1"
