Daemon to monitor a Chromatec AM-xx and send email notifications for specified alarm events
Written by Ian Llewellyn
chromad is a daemon written in C that monitors a network attached Chromatec AM-xx. An alarm configuration file is loaded when the daemon starts that specifies what channels the daemon should monitor and how much silence to accept before sending a notification email.
$ make then $ make install
There is an init.d script that can be installed also using: $ make install-service
An example configuration file is provided and installed into /etc/chromad. By default, logs are stored in the /var/log/chromad directory. The binary is installed into /usr/local/bin/.
If you want to run the program manually,
$ chromad -c
The command also accepts "-v -v ..." for more verbose logs. (up to 5 -v's as I recall) Be warned, the logs can really fill up if you go beyond 2 -v's!
