Opsview gives you lots of standard options for receiving status notifications, but with a bit of custom scripting you can also get status messages from Opsview and post them to a Twitter account.

Plus you can also set up an account for other members of your team to follow so they can also see the updates. However it’s probably best that the Twitter account is kept within your organisation unless you want the world to see the status of your servers!
This article tells you how to configure Opsview to send messages to Twitter. For configuring this you need to have access to the shell of your Opsview server.
