# CONFIGURE Included in this project are a number of systemd units: * psi-monitor.service * uses psi-monitor executable (in /usr/bin/) * psi-alerts@.service (system template service) * uses psi-alerts.sh script The `psi-alerts.sh` is essentially a daemon (a systemd simple service), and for now the systemd template needs to be instantiated with the username that will execute `psi-alerts.sh`. Also, a systemd unit override should be created, like so: ``` sudo systemctl edit psi-alerts@.service ``` This will open an editor, and in later versions of systemd the comment code will be included, clearly showing where the override should be entered: ``` ### Editing /etc/systemd/system/psi-alerts@trey.service.d/override.conf ### Anything between here and the comment below will become the contents of the drop-in file [Service] Environment=EMAIL_TO="email@domain.tld" Environment=SMS_DST="phone_number@sms.domain.tld" Environment=NOTIFICATION_CMD="dunstify" Environment=NOTIFICATION_OPTS="--timeout=0 --printid --urgency=critical --icon=/usr/share/icons/breeze-dark/emblems/16/emblem-warning.svg" Environment=NOTIFICATION_HIST_CMD="dunstctl history" Environment=NOTIFICATION_IDX=15 Environment=SSH_USER="username" Environment=SSH_HOST="localhost" Environment=SSH_PORT=5999 Environment=SSH_ID_PATH="~user/.ssh/psi-alerts" Environment=CLEAR_THRESHOLD="5.0" ### Edits below this comment will be discarded ### /etc/systemd/system/psi-alerts@.service # [Unit] # Description=Pressure Stall Information (PSI) alerts # PartOf=multi-user.target # After=psi-monitor.service # # [Service] # User=%i # Type=simple # ExecStart=psi-alerts.sh # # [Install] # WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` All of these are required except where noted, there are no default options (defaults may be added in the future). A brief description of each: * **EMAIL_TO**: the email address the notification should be sent to. The output of `pidstat` will be included in the body of this email, for each triggered resource type (CPU, I/O, Memory), at the time the monitor alerted. * **SMS_DST**: the email-to-SMS address, as defined by your mobile carrier. Please review your mobile carrier's documentation. For Google Fi, based in the US, the format is `@msg.fi.google.com`. This email address does **not** get the output of `pidstat` in the body of the message. * **NOTIFICATION_CMD**: The command on the remote host to run to display notifications, e.g. `notify-send` or `dunstify`. * **NOTIFICATION_OPTS**: Options for the `${NOTIFICATION_CMD}`. Should include `--print-id` if supported by the command. * **NOTIFICATION_HIST_CMD**: The command to display the notification history (e.g. `dunst history`). * **NOTIFICATION_IDX**: The index if the JSON structure that contains the notification ID. `dunst`, as of version 1.9.2-1, displays its history as a JSON structure. For other notification daemons, some other history mechanism will likely be required; patches needed and welcome! * **SSH_USER**: The SSH username to connect to the remote host that will display the notifications to the system administrator. * **SSH_HOST**: The SSH host to connect to. This is where `${NOTIFICATION_CMD} ${NOTIFICATION_OPTS}` and `${NOTIFICATION_HIST_CMD}` will run. * **SSH_PORT**: The SSH port to connect to. * **SSH_ID_PATH**: The path to the SSH id (private key file) to use for authenticating to the remote host. This can be exluded if the local user already has an ssh-agent running, with the necessary key and passphrase entered. If ssh-agent is not desired, then this SSH id (private key file) should have an empty passphrase (i.e., no passphrase). Not having this environment variable, and no ssh-agent will disable the desktop notifications (SMS and email will still work, as they don't use SSH) * **CLEAR_THRESHOLD**: The percentage threshold the some avg300 threshold should be below before considering the alert cleared. This will depend highly on the workload running on
