Hello everybody I would like to automatically link a CI from CMDB to a ticket. I receive alerts from Nagios with a hostname in the subject. I would like to link a server with this hostname from the CMDB to this ticket. Is it possible? How can I achieve this? I cannot find such a use case in the documentation. Pozdrawiam / Kind Regards Bogdan Katynski

Hello
Thank you for the response. This module is what I've been looking for. There's only one issue with this module: the CI from CMDB is linked to the incident ticket but not after first notification. I had to setup Nagios to renotify about problems. Only after the second notification has arrived, the CI gets linked to the ticket. Is there any workaround for this? I don't want renotifications in general so I would have to set them up only for the purpose of otrs.
Pozdrawiam / Kind Regards

Hello,
What we have done is to pass the arriving email (notification) to
postmaster twice and created aliases in postfix to handle that, so we have
couple of lines in postfix as follows.
alerts: alerts-create, alerts-link
alerts-create: "| /../scripts/parse.pl | /opt/otrs/bin/PostMaster.pl"
alerts-link: "| /../scripts/parse.pl | /opt/otrs/bin/PostMaster.pl"
So the first one pases the email to the other two an in the parser makes
the email hearders to match what we configured in the module.
Hope it helps.
Regards

Hello
Thanks for the hint. I'll try this way or maybe the other way round: configure two otrs contacts in Icinga. I'll write to the group if I succeed for future reference.

Hello
I manager to Get the lin king of CI working properly by configuring two contacts in Icinga especially for OTRS. They share a common email address. I still have another question. How can I make a service linked to the ticket? In SysConfig I have:
PostMaster::PreFilterModule###1-SystemMonitoring
ServiceRegExp: \s*Service:\s+(.)\s
(this is default value)
And I have a service named bacula-fd configured.
However upon receiving an alert:
** PROBLEM Service Alert: ldap.test.net/bacula-fd is CRITICAL **
The CI with a name ldap.test.net gets linked to the incident ticket but the service bacula-fd doesn't.
Does anybody know what the problem could be?
Pozdrawiam / Kind Regards

Hello, I just posted a topic about that on the forums today : http://forums.otterhub.org/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=18470 Apparently, otrs stores the service in a TicketFreeTex field, and it does not seem that easy to link it to a service.
