inserting arbitrary alerts

Hi,

Is there any way to raise arbitrary alerts within appmanager based on external events unknown to appmanager? i have a log server (splunk) which will be trawling all sorts of logs, and in certain conditions will run a script, send a trap or something to appmanager to say that service X or monitor group Y has a certain thing wrong with it which appmanager itself would never be aware of. I'm inclined to think you would probably need to look towards a direct mysql insertion based on certain fields in whatever the input is... i see the alerts within appmanager but they are not as flexible as we would need, and would want some sort of push mechanism into appmanager without having to configure appmanager itself for every possible permutation. i'd say that some message like "<service group>,<severity>,<message text>" and parse it into the database...

Cheers

Chris
