Hi -

We see that alerting on response time and downtime are part of what we hope to provide in the first iteration of Hawkular.  We'd like to get started on the designs related to alert definition/configuration.  I'm hoping that you can all share some of the requirements around alert definitions that you think we need to have for Hawkular at this point.  I don't want to overdo it by looking at JON - I'd like to start simple.  Here's the requirements for the web console as I currently am thinking of them, but would like the team to comment on them and add/remove requirements as you see necessary.

Overall Alerts
As an administrator of a website, I would like to have all alerts sent to me through e-mail.
Ad an administrator of a website, I would like to have all alerts sent to me via text message.

Downtime
As an administrator of a website, I would like to configure Hawkular so an alert is sent to me every time the system goes down.
As an administrator of a website, I would like to configure Hawkular so an alert is only sent to me after the system is down for a certain length of time, so I'm not alerted if there is a very minor downtime event.

Response time
As an administrator of a website, I would like to configure Hawkular to alert me when my website's response time is slower than a threshold I have set so I know there may be performance problems.

Are there any other "settings" to the alerts that we should be considering at this point?

Thanks,
Catherine
