alert configuration via alternate means and not email

[Stefan Beke]

I'm not allowed to use emails in certain scenarios, so it would be nice to configure alert via other means, in my case either telegram or slack or mattermost.

I can exec on specific situation and that's how I initially configured monitrc, but exec won't notify, when situation returns to normal ( compared to alert ).

I'm trying to find config example where I could run custom binary/script on alert instead of email as in set alert [e-mail], but it seems to be the only option.

You can enable the notification on success too:

if failed <check> then exec <program1> else if succeeded then exec <program2>

Another option is to use M/Monit, which has much more flexible alert rules: https://mmonit.com
