notification_t
From collectd Wiki
The notification_t data structure is used to represent notifications. Data contained in the struct includes:
- The identification fields also found in
value_list_t, but not all rules of the naming schema apply: Each field is optional in notifications. - A severity of the notification.
- A timestamp.
- A message.
Definition of the struct
The structure is defined in src/plugin.h as follows:
typedef struct notification_s { int severity; time_t time; char message[NOTIF_MAX_MSG_LEN]; char host[DATA_MAX_NAME_LEN]; char plugin[DATA_MAX_NAME_LEN]; char plugin_instance[DATA_MAX_NAME_LEN]; char type[DATA_MAX_NAME_LEN]; char type_instance[DATA_MAX_NAME_LEN]; notification_meta_t *meta; } notification_t;
Example
notification_t n = { NOTIF_WARNING, time(NULL), "", "", "ipmi", "", "", "", NULL }; sstrncpy (n.host, hostname_g, sizeof (n.host)); sstrncpy (n.type_instance, list_item->sensor_name, sizeof (n.type_instance)); sstrncpy (n.type, list_item->sensor_type, sizeof (n.type)); ssnprintf (n.message, sizeof (n.message), "sensor %s not present", list_item->sensor_name); plugin_dispatch_notification (&n);
