Hi, MailTo sends a mail every time it is started or stopped. If you put into a group on the last position you will get a mail every time any resource of the group changes its state. But a better way of monitoring would be to use an external network monitoriing system (i.e. nagios) to look after the cluster. heartbeat provides a nice SNMP subagent that reflects the state of the cluster (nodes, resources). You can monitor this state with check_snmp of the external NMS. Advances: 1) Have a third system monitor the cluster. So you will get notice of the whole cluster breaks and cannot send any mail anymore. 2) NMS (i.e. nagios) have a very powerful escalation system which a plain MailTo resource cannot provide.
