Sending notifications via SMS+mobile phone

[Josh Wells]

This probably seems like a dumb question but does a GSM terminal like this require its own cellular account or is it just a matter of buying it and configuring it on the computer?

We use that terminal at our workplace.  I have been using SMSLink very successfully for the past 12 months.  

I did have to play with the source code to get it working just how we wanted.  However, the developer tells me that the changes I have made are now included in the new version.  I would take a look at that if you want an easy way to get this working:

http://smslink.sourceforge.net/

Once configured and installed all we needed to do was create a notification command like this:

define command{
  command_name  notify-by-sms
  command_line echo -e "$SERVICEDESC$\r$HOSTNAME$\r$SERVICESTATE$\r$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/local/bin/sendsms -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -Q -f'-' localhost 2>/dev/null }

Works a treat for us.  Plus we like the fact that we can also send SMSs to this software.  This means that, in theory at least, our engineers could acknowledge a problem or get a status report from Nagios by texting the SMS modem.  We have yet to implement this but it was a big selling point for our installation.

I hope this helps,

Gareth.

	Hi,
	
	I use the siemens tc35i gsm modem and think it's great. Just hook it up 
	to your COM port, install smstool (which is in debian) create the 
	configfile, make a script to send sms and go....
	
	It's really easy.

Hey, this is the right one. You can also use the Siemens MC35 Works also great with smstool. Used it in several companies...
