Alert resolution states

[jpawlowski]

Hi!

I just found something interesting coming from die M$ MOM: resolution states.
they describe it on http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/mom/mom2005/maintain/empformom2005_3.mspx:

is there something like this already planed? what about the escalation function? what exactly will this future feature be able to do?

Is it kind of escalation rules? If so, similar functionality will be implemented in 1.1.

yea it is, but in fact it's a little bit different as I can see. it has a ticketing system included for example. i don't see zabbix having ever one complex ticketing system but how about a good defined interface to a popular open source ticket system?

what features are you planing to have for your escalation rules? is it only some kind of "i send a mail to admin A and if the error is still out there after one hour i send a mail to admin B"? i think this is nearly usable with the current actions system. or is it more like "if admin A didn't respond to the notification by going to URL ?errorid=123&acknowledge=true, then send a message to the next user/group.

sorry for my buggy questions but i'm not very familiar yet with all that topic :-)
