Notification over e.g. Pushover about gullveig

[Addvilz]

Thanks for the suggestion. There are three kinds of alerting tools I plan to support:

• SMTP (already there)
• Webhook - URL to be invoked with alert (TODO - soon)
• Custom executable - similar to webhook, just that it's a local script executed wherever gullveig-server is. (TODO - soon)

You will also be able to choose which alert tiers go to which channels, say warnings go to email, criticals and unknowns to everywhere.

This should cover pretty much all possible configurations, and where not - you should be able to trivially roll your own. I might add some more specific services if there is demand and IF they have a very light weight API that does not require huge SDKs to be set up and such - Pushover, Pagerduty, Opsgenie, VictorOps, Slack are all on this list pending some ideation on the "how" side, provided there is any interest.

That being said, there is a way for you to get these alerts to other tools already - Pushover, Pagerduty, Opsgenie, VictorOps and some other tools along these lines all have email gateways. Pushover specifically - you have a special email address available to which you can send emails and they will be sent as notifications.

Here's the docs - https://support.pushover.net/i29-e-mailing-notifications-to-your-devices

I will leave this open to collect interest for Pushover direct and other integrations.

i know about the emailing feature in pushover, but i think this is no ideal and mostly the mail will be truncate.
but a webhook solution would be also great and is also supported in pushover.
