We want to centralize these alarms and then serve them to one or more consumers. Ideally alarms are "pushed" to consumers rather than needing to poll so as to minimize latency between production and consumption. But, because some consumers will be behind firewalls the consumers should initiate the connection.
Anything already fit this bill or come close? If we do end up rolling our own, any suggestions to get us started in the right direction?
The obvious solution is just to roll your own and keep sockets always open from the consumers behind firewalls, and push notifications down those channels. I'm also working on something like this, a protocol called "Q2Q", but it's heavily in development now so I wouldn't suggest it if you have any deadlines.
