[Ganglia-developers] lightweight alert tool/ enhancement

2007-11-09 Thread Khazret Sapenov
Hi all,
Is it possible to get an email notification on some event like cpu load
spike beyond certain threshold or low disk space. I know there's
already Nagios that might do it, but it's a bit of an overhead for me.
Maybe there's some event-based framework that could be a good complement to
gmetad, so that it has aspects (pre/post conditions etc).

Thanks,

 IMHO, Nagios is more suited for these kind of alert/notification,
 however, it might be a bit of an overhead for some folks to install.
 My thought is that it wouldn't be such a bad idea for Ganglia to
 provide some very simple alert (RSS based, email, etc.).

 What do the community think?
   
I would say no. There are a number of projects out there for monitoring 
and alerting aside from Nagios e.g. Mon
( http://mon.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Download). Even though adding 
this functionality seems like an easy task this could easily suck up 
all your time. There are many things that are a lot more close to core 
Ganglia.

I can provide a simple PHP script that I use with Nagios that can be 
easily retrofitted to send out alerts.
