satellite monitoring is utterly dreadful, I'd really suggest ditching it for something less rubbish, even nagios.

in terms of getting it into OTRS though, you would just send the notification email to the right destination as per the docs: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Re...on-notifs.html

Thanks alots for that.
Too bad i have to do my research on it.
Is that posible way to receive the notification without email ?
Like maybe using soap to integrate the probe notification with otrs?
thankss.
Regards,
Brian

satellite is great for being a well managed repo, past that, you're better off with seperate tools for config management, monitoring etc.

I do like the config channels (if you don't need the complexity of puppet), but I don't know anyone who uses monitoring.

hey guys I just wanted to jump on the bandwagon and agree that RH Satellite monitoring is BAD. I actually spent 2 weeks testing it. Then we were told from our rep that there will be no more updates to it AND it will soon be removed completely from satellite.

You know what's worse though? SuSe's fork of Spacewalk. 7 hours they were trying to demo us their awesome revolutionary new product, achieved absolutely nothing at all. Utterly didn't even work in the first place, which was impressive as Spacewalk DOES work...
