I've been messing around with this, off and on (as time permits).  How did
you set up your config to go to SMS only if email fails?

 

Thanks

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section
12.4.2. He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out what
Jim pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if email is
done, you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem resolve this. I
have it installed and working fine. Our normal notifications go via email,
but if a network device or email server is down, then notifications go via
SMS.

I'm new one in Nagios system.
I work in mobile cellular operator company. And I need to know is there any
chance to get notification alert via sms to my mobile phone when BSC or HLR
equipments go down or stop working?
Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to
sms center.
    

 
Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to
http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the
usual way and have them converted to SMS.  It's extremely easy to set
up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we
don't know about it!
 
Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server
and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your
mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can
recommend other options.
 
In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions
which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the
heading "Notification Methods".
