Thanks.

The reason I changed it was I didn't see the actions>add in the corner.
Same as adding a new host, it's pretty hard to find until you get used to it.
I haven't used opsview before 3.7 so I'm not sure what the changes were.

It seems pretty straight forward once you have done it once.

Maybe just documentation wise an example in the sms notification or how to setup a numeric pager. I like the AQL idea or GSM modem option, but we use numeric dialup as a backup to e-mail. I'll try changing the sms back to default and use numeric paging option and see how it goes.
Thanks again

So in my script I would just have PAGER as the variable for the sms_notification script, and for my contact I make sure that the default notification has sms enabled, and for the individual contact I would put in the pager name or number in the Mobile field?

Is that correct?

Yes.

And I think the step you are missing is that for the notification method, set the contact variables field to PAGER so Opsview knows what this is required for notification profiles that use this method.

From your screenshot, you are changing the SMS Notification Module to use qpage. I'd recommend you create a new notification method instead - we may update the command used as part of an upgrade in future.

Stepping back a bit, it seems there is a lack of understanding between contacts, notification profiles and notification methods. What would make the connection easier? Personally, I liked the old screens we had in Opsview (pre 3.7.0), but people wanted flexibility so we designed it this way which admittedly has got more complicated.
