Alerts
From Mon Wiki
The following are some alert methods which mon can use:
- Email notification via SMTP
- Alphanumeric paging notification via modem, using QuickPage, or via email
- Alphanumeric messaging to portable devices using SNPP.
- Traps can be delivered to remote mon servers for distributed hierarchical management
- Send events from mon to HP Openview management stations
- Windows pop-up messages
- Open a ticket in a GNATS or Bugzilla problem-tracking system
- Instant messaging via AIM or IRC
It is trivial to add your own alert, and it does not require changing any code in the server. An alert can be a simple shell script or any other program executable by the mon server.
