Existing open source alerting systems may already be in existance. they should be understood and reviewed for the suitability of this project.
Goals
- understand the use cases of network alerting
- develop a consistent API framework for alerting. could potentially be a daemon like syslog.
- implement said API, with considerations for the different types of alerting mechanisms possible: SNMP traps, email are two important mechanisms.
- Work with Event Diagnostics projects to determine the best way of integrating the reporting with alerting.
