Automated alarm notification

Mon Feb 15 13:00:48 UTC 2016

OpenNMS has direct support for SNMP traps and multistage alerting. It's 
a pain in the ass to setup (depending on what you're doing*) but it's 
free and very high performance.

* if all your MIBS are already supported then 90% of the work is done 
and it's not so bad.  Just setup multistage alerts for 5 and 10 minute 
intervals depending on if something clears or if someone responds to the 
alert.  They support lots of alert types.  SMTP, SMS, voice call, a few 
ticketing systems, XMPP, twitter and probably more.
