SMS notifications

[Ludo Bosmans]

Jason,
 
To avoid lots of replies, work step by step and try to document symptoms in
detail..
 
1. Do the command work manually as root ?
2. Do a su - nagios and try the command again. If it doesn't work. What is
the error message ?
3. Do you have read and write permissions on the serial port specified in
the gnokiirc file as the nagios user ?
4. correct is necessary.
5. Is there a getty process on it ? Disable it in /etc/inittab and do "init
q", check if process is not respawned anymore.
6. Check access rights again from serial device.
7. Try to set the suid flag as root, just to see if this fix the problem.
 
kind regards,
 
ludo

Hiya, 

Yeah sorry..  Should have explained in full. 

I have a host-notify-by-sms and notify-by-sms in the .cfg.  One for service
and one for host.  The snippet I sent was for a host down. 

Really puzzling as the other commands in the .cfg for  host-notify-by-email
and notify-by-email work fine.  All I did was replace them.

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,

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.   

Jason

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
$CONTACTPAGERS$
