Currently RHQ can send alert messages via email (smtp) and traps (snmp). It would be good if it could also send alerts to pages, either 1) using smtp and a more flexible mail sending algorithm (e.g. send all alerts to pager, and include the users email in the subject for processing by the paging software) 2) supporting a way to pass alert information to a command line utility that would take care of sending the page 3) implementing a paging specific protocol, e.g. the pager equivalent of snmp. This request comes from case 159585
If we do any such work, especially 2) or 3), we should use the approach from RHQ-585, so that users can actually supply their own code.
