Simulating Script Actions for Group Alerts

I am using the Enterprise edition and would like to have a script invoked as an action for a group alert. The documentation says "The only action a resource group alert can trigger is an escalation."

I'm thinking of simulating a script action for a group alert by creating a Service of type Script that will use the Java HQ APIs to collect metric data from the members of the group to simulate the "group alert condition". I can then use the result of the script as a metric on which to create a regular alert, which can then invoke a script.

I was just wondering if there were any other ideas on how to simulate a script action for a group alert before I go down this path.

Thanks in advance,
robert

That's an interesting approach. I'm not sure of another one until we add Script Actions to Escalations (http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HQ-1645 - visible to Enterprise customers only)
