I use monit to manage some servers, but in addition to email alerts, I
would also like to be able to send IM (xmpp) alerts. I wrote a little
program called sendxmpp (http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/sendxmpp) to
send such message (similar to mail(1)).
Now I'd like to know if I could integrate this somehow with monit. I
think it would be a winning combination. Of course I can use the email
alerts and procmail, but there should be a more elegant way?
This should be easy, simply add an exec statement in one of the
if-tests. Upon an error monit will call the program defined in the exec
statement *and* send an email. Such as in this example:
check file httpd.conf path /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
if changed sha1 checksum
then exec "/usr/local/sendxmpp"
This brings up another idea. Should we create a way to add alert
methods to monit based on the same delegation-pattern we use for
protocol-tests? Okay, you _can_ do it by utilizing exec as shown
above, but a more embedded option could be nice to have.
I.e. a way to write a small C-stub to delegate the alert functionality.
Not sure how this interface will look in practice but I think the idea
is interesting since there are lots of other alert transport mechanisms
than SMTP today. I'm interested to know what others think about such an
idea. What should be the input and output parameters to such a stub
etc?
