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.

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 -----Original Message----- From: Onsite DeTeWe [mailto:Onsite.DeTeWe@firstgroup.com] Sent: woensdag 19 mei 2004 12:22 To: Ludo Bosmans; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications 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.

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, ludo -----Original Message----- From: Onsite DeTeWe [mailto:Onsite.DeTeWe@firstgroup.com] Sent: woensdag 19 mei 2004 11:34 To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications 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 $CONTACTPAGERS$ ********************************************************************** This message is confidential.
