New object statuses within b4


New object statuses have been introduced inside b4 software:

• TIMEOUT (critical state – red)
• FAILED (critical state – red)
• IGNORED (warning state – yellow)

They are available to be used under following service types:

• Checkpoint Service
• Execute Command Service
• Generic Service
• Advanced Generic Service

All these service types are generic and execute your own sensors (scripts/add-ons). They are fully integrated and available in Searches, Rules and Reports.

New statuses give more precise rule automation possibility where different kind of failures could happen.

Examples of use:

TIMEOUT - when sensor is running for a while and reaches timeout before getting requested result
FAILED - when sensor failed on getting result
IGNORED - when failure is expected to be replaced with such non-critical state
