i setup nagios to send notification sms and notification emails, i am sucessully getiing email notification but unable to get sms’s , i m posting mine configurations files below hope that will help to rectify the problem and i am using CENTOS 5 i unstall using nagios rpm package…and i am using Nokia Phone with gnokii…

i am using nagios with gnokii…

first i check phone is atached or not by

[root@app ~]# gnokii –identify

  1. second i try to send sms

[root@app ~]# echo “hello World” | gnokii –sendsms +919910124897

Send succeeded!

  1. this is mine template.cfg { i have installed by rpm}

define contact{
name generic-contact ; The name of this contact template

host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email,notify-host-by-sms ; send host notifications via email
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION – ITS NOT A REAL CONTACT, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}

  1. this is mine contact.cfg

define contact{
contact_name nagiosadmin ; Short name of user
use generic-contact ; Inherit default values from generic-contact template (defined above)
alias Nagios Admin ; Full name of user

email [email protected] ; <<***** CHANGE THIS TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS *****

it can only be in your host-notify-by-sms or gnokii itself… if few people use it you will get few answers :slight_smile:

I use sms_client

Works like a dream.

Configuring is a bit tricky…

Try this own made manual…
Maybe it helps…

let me know if it helps
