Hi there:
Need your advice in the following,
“A cluster has configured with the heartbeat check for 10 URL. If 1 out of 10 heartbeat of the URL is down I would like the Watcher to be able send an email with monitor ID which was down in the body.”
To make it more flexible,
I would like to pass in the parameters “URLDownCount” and “MonitorID” from the response servers in order to send a watcher email alert.
I’m thinking of using input chain/search or potentially search template to be able to search through the heartbeat index but don’t know which one would be a better solution?
Your professional advice is much appreciated
Thank you
