wftk core: notification method adaptor

[ back to the core ] [ discussion ]

A notification method adaptor is responsible for interfacing with a system used to notify people or other agents about events. This is really, really open-ended. Obvious candidates here are email and line-based logs, but syslogging is also a good possibility, or who knows what?

These are the functions exposed by a notification method adaptor (well, OK, they're not there yet):
FunctionParametersPurpose
0: init   Initialize adaptor instance
1: free   Clean up instance before shutting down
2: info   Return XML describing the adaptor
3: notify XML alert structure
Datasheet for interpretation of values (if any)
Perform the notification
