You want to configure Nagios to send alerts by email during the day by
sms the rest of the time?
Why don't you just create 2 separate contact definitions, one for email
and one for sms with different time definitions?
Would look something like this:
define contact{
contact_name sysadmin-1
use generic-contact
alias sysadmin workhours
host_notification_period workhours
service_notification_period workhours
host_notification_options d,r
service_notification_options w,c,r
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
define contact{
contact_name sysadmin-2
use generic-contact
alias sysadmin after work
host_notification_period afterwork
service_notification_period afterwork
host_notification_options d,r
service_notification_options w,c,r
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name workhours
alias Normal Work Hours
monday 08:00-16:59
tuesday 08:00-16:59
wednesday 08:00-16:59
thursday 08:00-16:59
friday 08:00-16:59
}
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name afterwork
alias Normal Work Hours
monday 17:00-24:00
tuesday 17:00-24:00
wednesday 17:00-24:00
thursday 17:00-24:00
friday 17:00-24:00
saturday 00:00-24:00
sunday 00:00-24:00
}
define service{
use local-service
hostgroup_name Linux
service_description Load Average
check_command check_nrpe!check_load
max_check_attempts 2
check_interval 10
retry_interval 5
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 60
first_notification_delay 0
notification_period 24x7
contacts
sysadmin-1,sysadmin-2
notification_options c,w,r
}
As far as certain services sms only, use the 24x7 time period, create
contact for the 24x7 time period and configure the service accordingly.
define contact{
contact_name sysadmin-3
use generic-contact
alias sysadmin sms
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_options d,r
service_notification_options w,c,r
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
define service{
use local-service
hostgroup_name linux
service_description Free Space on /
check_command check_nrpe!check_root
max_check_attempts 2
check_interval 15
retry_interval 5
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 60
first_notification_delay 0
notification_period 24x7
contacts sysadmin-3
notification_options c,w,r
}
The way that is configured, any problems with load in your linux
hostgroup will send notification by email during the day and by sms
after hours/weekends. The second example will send by sms at any time
for any alerts with free space.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Alternating Notification Commands
Greetings-
In addition to the two included commands for sending notifications, I
defined two new ones called notify-host-by-sms and notify-service-by-
sms.
What I would like to do is configure nagios to have it send alerts by
email during normal business hours and send alerts by sms the rest
of the time. I would also like to configure certain critical services
to only alert by sms regardless of the time of day.
From what I can tell, there does not appear to be a straight forward
way to do this because "host_notification_commands" and
"service_notification_commands" are defined under "contact". It looks
like I would have to
create two contacts for each person, one with their email and one with
their pager.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks
Steven Kreuzer
