Re: [Nagios-users] How to receive notification alert by sms tomobile phone using Nagios

2009-03-13 Thread Andrew Davis

Like any other test...

I do a simple http test to msn.com like you'd test any website with the 
standard plugin.
I do a ping test to yahoo.com since they allow pings still (unlike many 
companies).

And I do a dig to google.com.

Those three are each defined as a host, then put in a hostgroup called 
"sanity check". If one test fails, I assume there's an issue on there 
end and ignore it. If two fail, same thing. If all three fail, I know my 
ISP connection is down. The contactgroup for the hostgroup for these 
hosts goes to SMS (mine and the mgr at our ISP).

Hi Andrew,

 


How are you configuring your sanity checks in Nagios?

A combination of the "parents", hostgroups, and escalation. I'll post 
my configs later, but once you have confirmed that SMS is setup and 
working (make sure that for every email alert, you also get an SMS 
alert), then you define your network topology and put them into 
hostgroups. In my case, I have a hostgroup of "network-core" which 
includes my core routers, firewalls, Exchange server, Exchange 
storage, and the switch connecting the Exchange system with the 
firewall. I then have a contactgroup of the SMS addresses of three key 
people (myself included). If any of those device fail, Nagios sends 
notification via SMS. If anything else fails, it goes via emails. The 
kewl thing is I'll often sleep through emails, but if I get an SMS, I 
know something serious failed and I force myself to get up...


Additionally, I tend to define a sanity check: a ping to yahoo and 
http to MSN and non-caching dns query of Google. If all sanity checks 
fail and are not resolved within 4 hours, then through escalations, an 
SMS is sent to the manager of the support team at our ISP as we likely 
have a bandwidth down issue. If sanity checks AND a core network 
device fail, my ISP doesn't get notified as we know its us...

Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to

Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to

http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the

usual way and have them converted to SMS.  It's extremely easy to set

up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we

don't know about it!



Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server

and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your

mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can

recommend other options.



In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions

which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.  See

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the

heading "Notification Methods".

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] How to receive notification alert by sms to
mobile phone using Nagios

 

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section
12.4.2. He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out what
Jim pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if email is
done, you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem resolve this. I
have it installed and working fine. Our normal notifications go via email,
but if a network device or email server is down, then notifications go via
SMS.

I'm new one in Nagios system.
I work in mobile cellular operator company. And I need to know is there any
chance to get notification alert via sms to my mobile phone when BSC or HLR
equipments go down or stop working?
Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to
sms center.


 
Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to
http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the
usual way and have them converted to SMS.  It's extremely easy to set
up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we
don't know about it!
 
Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server
and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your
mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can
recommend other options.
 
In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions
which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible.  See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the
heading "Notification Methods".
