We use postfix with aliases for our SMS gateway to aggregate our alerts.

I keep the alerting rules within the "admin" account.

I create an "email" alerts tagged for specific groups of servers, and an 
identical (or nearly identical, depending on what we want alerting about.) rule.

then in our /etc/aliases file for postfix we have stacked aliases.

Doing it this way, we add & remove people from the groups listed in /etc/aliases 
when we want to add or subtract them from the notification group, and we don't have to 
mess about with adding & subtracting all kinds of notification rules.

It works well.

Hi

We currently use Hyperic to monitor a range of client boxes. While its a great 
system, the open source feature lacks certain things like group alerts etc, and 
adding same 10 alerts to 20 servers is both time consuming and a pain in the 
a***

Can Zenoss help us setup alerting any quicker ?

Also, does Zenoss use agents so that we can cross firewalls etc? If so, do the 
agents support actions on alerts like running scripts rather than just emailing 
people ?
