Yeah, that’s fair — if you’ve got Zabbix/Nagios wired to alerts + automation that acts on them, you’re honestly not who this is for. You’ve already solved it the proper way.
The one thing I’d push back on: I’m not really pitching a dashboard you stare at. It’s push-first too — the “board” is just what you glance at the one time you actually open it after a buzz. The gap I keep hitting isn’t “I want to watch graphs”, it’s “alert fires, I’m on my phone away from home, and I want to see what else is affected and tap straight into it” without spinning up a VPN and digging for a bookmark.
But your setup is basically the endgame, so point taken — for people who’ve built that pipeline, this is redundant. That’s exactly the line I’m trying to find, so thanks.
yeah, the matrix room approach is clean. that’s basically the notification hub I’m talking about, you just built it yourself with synapse + bridges. My selfhosted setup is quite simple and small, I would prefer avoid any overkill setup, that’s all ^^
and no argument on the fixing part. I’m not trying to get anyone debugging from a phone, that’s madness. logs on a real keyboard, every time.
the only bit I actually care about is the “fix now or leave it til morning” call when I’m away from home, plus enough context in the alert to make that call. sounds like yours already handles that fine.
so fair enough, if you’ve got synapse bridging everything you’re not the one who’d need this. realistically the target is people who’d never stand up a matrix server just for alerts. anyway thanks for spelling it out, that’s useful.
