Hello For many years now, I've worked at companies that use PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or something similar. Basically, the monitoring software sends the alert to an endpoint that then forwards via whatever method you desire like SMS, email, phone call, or app notification on your phone, in a highly configurable manner. That's the basic gist. I imagine there are free alternatives out there, but I'm not familiar with them. Good luck! -- Matt Barton matt@netmonkey.net On Mon, Jul 21, 2025, at 12:42 PM, Jeff Shultz via Outages-discussion wrote:
With AT&T discontinuing their Email to SMS bridge and the others getting somewhat unreliable, what methods are people using to get alerts from their NMS and SNMP and other monitoring services and devices to make their phones squawk when something dies?
If I could trust my phone's gmail client to reliably notify me I might go that route, but as one of my co-workers put it, "it goes in waves."
