Jonathan, Tanner, Carlos, Dave:
The external alerts system is up and running on its new dedicated machine. This is a VM installed by Carlos yesterday, called ext-alert. Jonathan installed the certificate authentication system. Many thanks to Tanner for help getting this going.
I made the same small change to {userapps}/cal/common/scripts/ext_alert.py as was done at LLO. This directory is locally checked out on ext-alert under its local controls account home directory.
I removed the old ext_alert from h1fescript0's monit. The new service is running under systemd control on ext-alert. To distinguish between the two systems, we have replaced the underscore with a dash in the new system name. I'll update all the documentation, and provide operator instructions on monitoring the system.
