pagerduty integration with M/Monit

[Paul Theodoropoulos]

I'm trying to use pagerduty for alerting. I use M/Monit as the one-stop 
gateway for all alert management. Since I'd rather not have to modify 
several hundred monitoring rules across many servers, I've tried using 
the 'execute program' action in M/Monit to trigger alerts via the 
pagerduty API. It works - sort of. If I use 
"/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger $MONIT_SERVICE", it'll send me an 
alert if I kill off crond for example. But...it reports that crond 
failed...on my M/Monit server, rather than the source server. If I use 
$MONIT_HOST - well, then it reports "localhost failed on (my monit server)".

The pagerduty trigger/resolve scripts only take one argument. Their 
integration page:

Thoughts?
