SMS notifications

[Ludo Bosmans]

Jason,
 
I suppose that the manual test is ok ? Of course replace the macros with the
corresponding values.
 /usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:
$OUTPUT$\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms
$CONTACTPAGER$ 
 
In the checkcommands you have a "notify-by-sms", but in the syslog there is
"host-notify-by-sms", so you need to check the syntax of that config entry
and try manually to execute the command to see if it works.
 
kind regards,
 
ludo

Thanks for your reply, 

I do have a nokia connected to the serial port, but I am using the phone to
send the texts. 

Regarding the macro, I have also tried just using the mobile number for a
test.  This still does not work.  Here is a syslog message when a host does
down. 

May 19 11:11:48 SNMPServer nagios: HOST NOTIFICATION:
server;fiplog01;UP;host-notify-by-sms;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA =
58.53 ms 

As you can see the trigger is being used, just nothing more happening.

Hi  Jason, 
  
I use  also gnokii to send sms's.  I don't know your set-up, do you have a
Nokia  connected to a serial port ? 
Imy  configuration i have a modem connected to the serial port and i
establish a  call to a local provider smc center. So i am able to drop more
then 1 sms at the  time in one connection. Only the call to the smc center
is charged. No charge  for the sms's itself. 
  
So i  can not really simulate, but it seems for me that the $CONTACTPAGERS$
macro is  wrong, it must be $CONTACTPAGER$. 
  
kind  regards,

Hi All, 

I have just setup a  mobile gateway on our nagios box (6310i with serial
lead ;-).  Got all  the SMS stuff working using gnokii which works a treat.
Recommend it to  anyone.  However, when I try and get nagios to use a new
notify routine  it fails to send the text. 

Debug  so far. 

Got gnokii to send SMS  direct. 
Added notify-by-sms to  misccommands.cfg. 
         I know the above works as I then cut the command from the .cfg and
run  it from the command line direct and it works. 

Could this be a permissions thing associated with the  nagios user??? 

When I force a host  down and look in the syslog the notification does try
and send via the correct  command, it seems like just the command from
within nagios is not  working. 

Hope someone can  help. 

Regards 

Jason 



This is the command line. 

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "**Nagios**\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost:
$HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo:
$OUTPUT$\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /usr/local/bin/gnokii --sendsms
$CONTACTPAGERS$
