escalation module / external script

[prune]

Hi,

Cacti is a relay good peace f software, especialy with the threshold plugin.
two big feature are still missing :

- an escalation mode :
Even if this is not the duty of a monitoring software, when a threshold is reached, cacti only send an email to one recipient. It would be great to be able to define many recipiend, date and time of availability of each, and scenarios of escalade, like first alert to user1, next alert to user 1 and user2, etc. This could also be achieved from another script/software with :

- an external script for alerting :
Cacti / Threshold only send a mail in case of alert. It would be great to be able to execute a online php script (an URL) or a local script (shell script) so extend the possibilities. This way it would be possible to send mail, SMS or pager alert...

Maybe I should post this question to the guys developping the threshold plugin, but maybe someone already did this...

Thanks
