Hi,
A few months back I looked into exactly this issue. Back then there was
no easy way to make systemd send emails. That is why I still use monit
which has good notification capabilities:
<https://www.mmonit.com/monit/>
Monit works by polling service states periodically, so some delay is
always involved. Monit can, however, do whatever you want when a problem
is encountered and is not limited to just restarting the service.
Combining systemd instantaneous restarts with monit's notifications is a
pretty good system imho.
