Grabbing all and sending as one

[Boxerman]

Evening all,

 

I'm trying to get a script then will run on a CRON job at some point. it works as you see it, however when more than one server is down it sends a new email for every server, how would i go about getting it to grab all down servers and sending in just 1 email?

 

Thanks guys! (code below).

<?
$hosts = array( 
array ( "hostdescription" => "B1", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "B2", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BB1","hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ), 
array ( "hostdescription" => "BB2", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BB3", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBB1", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBB2", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBBB1", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBBB2", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBBB3", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ) );  
$pingcount = 1;  
foreach ($hosts as $host){  
$hostdescription = $host["hostdescription"];  
$hostaddress = $host["hostaddress"];  
exec("ping -c $pingcount -w $pingcount $hostaddress", $pingoutput, $Spingstatuscode);  
if($Spingstatuscode === 0){ 
echo("$hostdescription ($hostaddress) is Up <BR>"); }else{ 
echo("$hostdescription ($hostaddress) is Down <BR>"); 
$to = "EMAIL HIDDEN";
$subject = "SERVER DOWN: $hostdescription"; 
$message = "ATTENTION: $hostdescription is currently down please investigate"; 
$headers .= "From: EMAIL HIDDEN\r\n";
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
} }
?>

try this code

$description_message = '';	
	foreach ($hosts as $host)
	{
		$hostdescription = $host["hostdescription"];
		$hostaddress = $host["hostaddress"];
		exec("ping -c $pingcount -w $pingcount $hostaddress", $pingoutput, $Spingstatuscode);
		if ($Spingstatuscode === 0)
		{
			echo("$hostdescription ($hostaddress) is Up <BR>");
			$description_message .= "$hostdescription ($hostaddress) is Up <BR>";
		}
		else
		{
			echo("$hostdescription ($hostaddress) is Down <BR>");
			$description_message .= "$hostdescription ($hostaddress) is Down <BR>";
		}		
	}
	$to = "EMAIL HIDDEN";
	$subject = "SERVER DOWN: $hostdescription";
	$message = "ATTENTION: Please check Server Status below <br>$description_message";
	$headers .= "From: EMAIL HIDDEN\r\n";
	$mail_sent = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

i have concatenated your messages in $description_message variable and added it in mail body and taken out mail code from foreach loop

 

may this will help you

Hi there,

 

Thanks for the response, however from what i can see, this will send the status of all servers.

 

What i would like to get is a way off builiding the list of DOWN (pingstatus != 1) and sending just the down server via email while ignoring the up ones.

 

Thanks again buddy!

OK, then just remove the part where it includes the UP servers.

But this will still send multiple emails? right? as its in a loop?

If you notice, it builds the message in a loop and then just sends 1 email after the loop.

So would:

<?
$hosts = array( 
array ( "hostdescription" => "B1", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "B2", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BB1","hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ), 
array ( "hostdescription" => "BB2", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BB3", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBB1", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBB2", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBBB1", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBBB2", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ),
array ( "hostdescription" => "BBBB3", "hostaddress" => "IP HIDDEN" ) );  
$pingcount = 1;  
foreach ($hosts as $host){  
$hostdescription = $host["hostdescription"];  
$hostaddress = $host["hostaddress"];  
exec("ping -c $pingcount -w $pingcount $hostaddress", $pingoutput, $Spingstatuscode);  
if($Spingstatuscode === 1){ 
$to = "EMAIL HIDDEN";
$subject = "SERVER DOWN"; 
$message = "ATTENTION: $hostdescription is currently down please investigate"; 
$headers .= "From: EMAIL HIDDEN\r\n";
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
} 
?>

Work?
