Integrating Third-Party Tools
*****************************

There are many monitoring and alerting systems available, too many for us to
hope to cover every possible option here. We can, however, attempt to document
using some of the more common options.

Some of these third party monitoring applications and services are able to tap
into the extensive list of |TS| statistics, others make use of |TS| log files,
and yet others are aimed at simple health check reporting. An extensive service
monitoring configuration may take advantage of more than one service to play to
their complementary strengths. Which tool, or combination of tools, is right
for your infrastructure will likely vary.
