Re: Another feature

[Andrew Holt]

Hi,

Unfortunately, for my purposes, I can't use mmonit.  I need the intelligence to 
be in monit and on the device.

The ability to execute things like snmptrap, just once on the event, from monit 
would be awesome.

IMHO simply adding this would put into the BMC Patrol/SunMC/Halcyon league.


Regards,
Andrew
