Hi Dan OK, it is working now - as far as it goes
I have written my own decoder that extracts the agent name as "usernane", so that I have an "<expect>username</expect>" clause in the decoder, and this is passed to the shell script so I know which server has gone down - this is written to a file for broadcast A script running every 60 seconds picks up these files and passes them to GAMMU for SMS transmission Andy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andy Cockroft (andic) Sent: Saturday, 28 May 2011 10:21 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ossec-list] Sending Alerts to SMS Hi Dan I am sending (or rather trying to send) SMS directly via a Bluetooth attached cellphone, so no email involved. SMS is working fine from the command line using GAMMU. I have created a level 12 rule for agents that become inactive - ie suspect faulty server or network - and these I want to receive pretty quickly before they become a major problem to users. I have created a command script that runs on the server (where the Bluetooth is), and whilst that starts and runs OK, I cannot seem to get it to invoke anything other than a simple shell script - I would prefer another language. I've tried writing a wrapper to call my scripts, but it does not execute - so unless you have some insight, I may have to start looking inside the code (ossec-execd?) I would also like to have the agent name passed as a parameter, but that doesn't seem to be available - but I'm sure that's just me missing something Cheers Andy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dan (ddp) Sent: Saturday, 28 May 2011 12:02 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ossec-list] Sending Alerts to SMS http://www.ossec.net/doc/syntax/head_ossec_config.email_alerts.html There is an SMS mail format you can use.
