Zenoss has the built-in ability to call an arbitrary script as part of
the alerting process. It's called Event Commands:

I've heard of users doing SMS, additional logging, RSS and phone calls
using this mechanism.

I think it would make more sense to include the ability to call an
arbitary script as part of the alerting process. This would make it
easy to integrate any sort of alerting - even something which hasn't
previously been considered - into ZenOSS.
For instance, I'm thinking seriously of buying something like this:
http://www.acmesystems.it/?id=70
A little box which takes a SIM card and can send SMS messages
directly. It's expensive, but it does have one advantage over a GSM
modem in that there's no question of "is my modem fully supported?
will it do strange, unexpected things when I least need it?", no
trying to integrate with other software like gnokki (just FTP a file
with a particular format which would be very easy to write from a
script to /mnt/flash/outgoing and it goes out as an SMS message) and
because it's on the network you can position it wherever you can get
a good reception - which may not be very practical for a GSM modem
in a server room.
The only drawback is that obviously it means that any routers/
switches between the ZenOSS server and the box are potential points
of failure of the alerting system, but IME it's more likely a server
will go down than a switch.
