Open Stack

Hooking it into Zaqar would be awesome too. Once you can trigger Mistral workflows based on Zaqar messages, just imagine the possibilities...

Kevin,

This is a great idea that would make a solid extension to the software.
If I read the wiki page correctly, the real goal is for operators and
tenants to be able to be notified via querying the ReST API so they could
write their own email/pager-duty app.
