Setting up a notification trigger

Yesterday we experienced an outage that took a while to resolve, purely because no-one was notified or alerted to the problem. The problem/error message went something like this: Depricated: Non-static method NY_OG_Main_Admin::option()should not be called statically, assuming $ this from incompatible context in /home/content/plugins/wp-open-graph/output.class on line xxx To prevent this from happening again, I would like to set up a notification/alert that will send me an email telling me that there is an issue. I am a total noob when it come to cpanel and web dev stuff, so be gentle.

  Hello, This looks like an error with the PHP script related to the use of depreciated PHP code. Did this happen after updating the version of PHP on the system? Thank you.

  Hi MrTwoTall, I found a thread nearly 2 years old in the WordPress Support, where a moderator instructed the user to delete the wp-open-graph plugin as it was not compatible with PHP Strict Standards (probably anything after PHP 5.3) I don't know if the wp-open-graph has released any updates to deal with the newer PHP versions - you might have to do some research and optionally : [LIST]

  Apply updates as necessary

  Disable modules that do not work on the PHP version this site is running on

  Install cloudlinux and alt_php so you can use earlier versions of PHP

  Re-code the problem class to comply with current PHP requirements. Anyway, read the thread for yourself and draw your own conclusions Topic: Unable to create new posts or save changes to current ones " WordPress.org Forums

  Thanks for the feedback guys. The depricated issue did occur right after the PHP and WordPress were updated. I now need to create a notification that can alert the Administrator should something like this happen again.
