Quick and dirty

way

  1. Copy the notification plugin to the local directory

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[

...

  1. mysite]:~$ cp ~/lib/python3/cmk/cee/notification_plugins/servicenow.py ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/


    .
  2. make the script executable

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[

...

  1. mysite]:~/local/share/check_mk/notifications$ chmod +x ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/servicenow.py

    .

  2. Inside the script, you need to change

...



  1. The 3rd line to

...

  1. the name of your script. This name will be displayed in the Notification rules

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    3 # Notification script name
    4 # Bulk: no


    .

...

  1. At the end of the notification script, we need to add:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    print("outside: about to check for __main__ == %s" % __name__)
    if __name__ == "__main__":
         print("outside: about to call main()")    
         sys.exit(main())

This way is more efficient and recommended for

...

Python developers

...


  1. Create

...

  1. a

...

  1. folder

...

  1. inside

...

  1. the

...

  1. local

...

  1. Python structure.

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]:~$ cd ~/local/lib/python3/cmk
    OMD[

...

  1. mysite]:~/local/lib/python3/cmk$ mkdir notifications_custom

...

  1. .

  2. Copy the notification script from the Python structure to the local Python structure.

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]:~$ cp ~/lib/python3/cmk/cee/notification_plugins/servicenow.py ~/local/lib/python3/cmk/notifications_custom/

...

  1. .

  2. Copy the notification script from the notification path to the local notification path.

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    OMD[mysite]:~$ cp ~/share/check_mk/notifications/servicenow ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/

...

  1. .

  2. Now let's change some values.

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
     OMD[mysite]:~$ vi ~/local/share/check_mk/notifications/servicenow  

...

  1. .

  2. Change 

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeRDark
    # Servicenow (Enterprise only)

...

  1. 
    to

...

  1.  

...

  1. 
    # Servicenow Custom (Enterprise only)
    
    and the import directory to the local structure

...

  1. 
    
    from cmk.cee.notification_plugins import servicenow
    

...

  1. to

...

  1.   

...

  1. 
    

...

  1. from cmk.

...

  1. notifications_custom import servicenow

...

  1.  



Note

Per default, all notifications notification scripts are inside ~inside ~/lib/python3/cmk/notification_plugins/.

As servicenow ServiceNow is only available with the enterprise edition available, you will find the script here:  ~~/lib/python3/cmk/cee/notification_plugins/
