Alerting

Anyone alerting clients in realtime (not email) ?

It's not the best implementation, but we're using netsend to alert windows xp clients of new alerts through custom scripts. We'd really like a better solution in a non-email environment. If it comes down to it, I was going to build a custom python server/client infrastructure, but if there is something better out there that would be easier/better, it'd be nice to compare.

What is everyone else doing for their alerts?

This is just opinion, but some things to consider - all of which are simple to do via script, and have much of the existing plumbing already in place.

  1. Pagerduty (www.pagerduty.com) - nag them by phone / email / text message
  2. Twitter - interested parties follow @mysplunkalerts
  3. An IRC / Jabber / favorite corporate IM bot
  4. Use wifi rabbits! http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/22392/audible-alerts-using-nabaztagtag-wifi-rabbit

We are using Pagerduty, but any of the above should work more than great.

Thanks, however most of these require internet connectivity. We may be able to do the IRC/IM idea though. I forgot to mention that we don't have internet connectivity on these machines.
