Please excuse me if this mail all ready posted to the list.
Hi all ;
I followed this tutorial
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/pages/Detailed/1855.html
I would like to test the sms alert system from a GSM SMS gateway , I have
added these lines in commands.cfg
define command{
command_name service_notify_with_sms
command_line $USER1$/notify_sms -a MY_MOBILE_NUMBER -u
MY_USER_NAME -p
MY_PASSWORD -m \ '$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$:$HOSTNAME$ is $SERVICESTATE$
($SERVICEOUTPUT$)\' -t $CONTACTPAGER$
}
I have 3 doubts
doubt 1) is the above configuration correct ?
where MY_MOBILE_NUMBER = my cell phone number and
MY_USER_NAME = sms gateway user account
and
MY_PASSWORD = sms gateway user password
doubt 2 ) why I have to add again the following config section ? i mean
the purpose of the following lines ?
define command{
command_name host_notify_with_sms
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/notify_sms -a 1012345 -u
myusername_for_gw -p mypassword_for_gw -m \'$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$:
$HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ ($HOSTOUTPUT$)\' -t $CONTACTPAGER$
}
doubt 3) if I added the 2 define command sections in commands.cfg as
in the website , can I get an sms alert ?anything else I have to add in
localhost.cfg ? (where I have services to check ssh,ping,http in the
localhost . )
These are the Nagios packages I have in my box
nagios-2.9_1
nagios-plugins-1.4.9_1,1
notify_sms-1.1.tar.gz<http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=1855&view=File2;d=1>
I untared this notify_sms-1.1.tar.gz package and copied it to
/usr/local/libexec/nagios/ (in this directory I hvae all the
check_ssh check_ping etc etc comamnds by default)
Let me request you to clarify my doubts , sorry for my ignorance ,
NOTE : The SMS gateway is in another PC , but I configured Nagios in a
localbox ,but both machines in the same network .
so can I use this SMS gateway ? how to make this sms gateway service
available for nagios box ?
Thanks in Advance
