What else are operators doing to get the pages out when things go wonky?
I added asterisk and a cheap X100P card to my Nagios setup. Now I can get a voice call if things are really bad.
I started to install some text-to-speech tools also, but got depressed by all the additional ports that were coming along for the ride. So for now it just plays a prerecorded message: "go check nagios!"
It's relatively trivial to add a collection of other canned phrases and have the outgoing message software play the appropriate one.
