ZenPacks.rhybudd.alerts-4.2.5_1.0.0-2.lbn25.noarch

This ZenPack adds new event notification actions that are used by the zenactiond daemon to instantly deliver alerts to any Rhybudd enabled Android devices. Features

The following event notification actions have been added:

Send Alert to Rhybudd

This action allows Zenoss to push events directly to Android devices that have the Rhybudd App installed.

Alert delivery is usually sub-second.

Rhybudd is free, open source and available from http://bit.ly/ZenossAndroid
