thold expanded

What are most of you using as your mail alerting system? Here they had used OpenView but the knowledge base for it was so shallow it hasn't been updated for a very long time - besides its slow as hell, you'll get a page from it 15 minutes after the device has already been restored!

At any rate, it would seem that using the Nagios plugin is the way to go for "serious" monitoring - but thold is so easy! Problem is, I need the ability to send a page and e-mails, possible even SMS/text messages.

Your thoughts, ideas, input - especially examples of what you are using?

Soon as I have something configured and alerting, OpenView gets shut down for good and I get to possilby use its box to take some load off the Cacti box!

I had modified graph_thold.php to generate sound alert in case a host goes down or a threshold is breached
