yes i should have said - we use qpage to send the page via the modem to 
the carrier and then they send it off to our pagers. we tried SMS v's 
pager and prefer pager as they are less easy to sleep through and we 
found reliability was better - we had too many SMS's just vanish

I can help you to set up SMS'ing with a modem that has a SIM-card in.
Obviously there will be costs involved with the SIM-card.
Give me ahsout if you want to go that route.

We are using yaps to send sms notifications via ISDN to cell phones.

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS notifications to a cell phone

2006-10-05 Thread Matthew Stier




I use 'qpage', which drives a direct attach modem, through a dedicated
analog line.

Most cell phone providers, including Verizon, support using the TAP
protocol to send messages to mobile phones as text messages.

In my shop we just treat cell phone notifications the same as email
notification.  For instance, Verizon Wireless customers who have text
messaging can receive pages by sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
where ## is the telephone number of the cell phone you are
sending email to.

I also have a "front end" (middle end?) script for cell phones that
chops a notification up into chunks that don't overflow the cell phone's
text size limit and sends them out as multiple pages.

2006-10-05 Thread Hari Sekhon




well, you could just use gnokii or something like that and have a
mobile phone connected directly to the nagios server, although I
haven't tried this myself.

it does mean that there is a completely separate route for gettng
alerts.

we send pages (no sms) using a modem on the nagios box and then this 
routes to the pager supplier - Relying on email or email-to-sms gateway 
is dangerous as what happens if all connectivity fails - your alerts do

I agree mostly, but I'd like to send SMS messages via a directly
connected modem or wireless phone.

On that subject, anyone have information on installing a blackberry on
a linux box for this purpose?

I've seen a few options IRL:
* attach a cellphone to your server and install SMS sending software
* subscribe to an email-to-SMS gateway
* subscribe to another SMS provider
* ???

[Nagios-users] SMS notifications to a cell phone

2006-10-05 Thread Yogesh Hasabnis
Hi All,

I am in the process of setting up nagios for monitoring key services in
our network setup. I have already tested and used the email method of
sending notifications using Sendmail as my relay host. I would be
grateful if I get some pointers for sending notifications using SMS to
a cell number, in case of service failures and recoveries. I went
through the nagios docs. They have mentioned  quite a few options
for using SMS as a notification method. But it seems that one needs to
subscribe to the services of a service provider to use any of those
options. And the service provider should be providing services in your
country/location. Is it possible to use this notification without
subscribing to any specific paid service ?

I am extremely sorry if this question has already been answered before.

Thanks In Advance
