SMS Text Message help

[Peter Shankland]

Getting somewhere now. It looks as though the problem was with me not using
-q to supress the output from sms_client (thanks Phil Randal) but also the
nagios user not being able to write to /dev/ttyS0, /etc/ and /var/lock/

The problem I now have is that the plugin takes about 60 seconds to run,
but timesout after 30 seconds through Nagios. Is there a way to increase
this timeout period?

Thanks.

Pete.

When I run the following:

su - nagios sms_client vodafone_tap:123456789 "message"

I get:

/bin/sms_client: /bin/sms_client: cannot execute binary file

Is this starting to look like a permissions problem?

Thanks.

Try echoing the command into a tmp file, and then running it as the
nagios user.. Eg:

command_line   echo " /usr/bin/printf \"%b\" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\" | /bin/sms_client vodafone_tap:$CONTACTADDRESS1$ " >
/tmp/sms-command`date +%s`

The "su - nagios"  and "sh /tmp/sms-command...." and see what happens.

My guess, from my experience last week is that there is either an error
with quotation marks, or the context.. By dumping the command to a temp
file you will be able to debug what is happening.

Good luck!

Chad

I am successfully using the software from smsclient.org to send text
messages to mobile phones manually using the following command:

sms_client vodafone_tap:1234567890 "Message Text"

This work brilliantly but I have tried to integrate this into Nagios
with no success :(

I have created the following notification command within my
misccommands.cfg file:

# 'host-notify-by-sms' command definition define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-sms
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/sms_client vodafone_tap:$CONTACTADDRESS1$
        }

I have then got the following within my contacts.cfg file:

define contact{
        contact_name                    1533
        alias                           Peter Shankland
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands
host-notify-by-email,host-notify-by-sms
        email                           peter.shankland at ricoh-rpl.com
        address1                        447977906721
        }

Finally, this gets called within one of my hosts.

I get the following within my syslog messages:

May  9 09:51:51 RPL-RENAULT nagios: HOST ALERT:
CISCO1200_RPL1-MO-1;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.60 ms
May  9 09:51:51 RPL-RENAULT nagios: HOST NOTIFICATION:
1533;CISCO1200_RPL1-MO-1;UP;host-notify-by-sms;PING OK - Packet loss =
0%, RTA = 0.60 ms May  9 09:51:51 RPL-RENAULT nagios: HOST NOTIFICATION:
1533;CISCO1200_RPL1-MO-1;UP;host-notify-by-email;PING OK - Packet loss =
0%, RTA = 0.60 ms

and the following within the Nagios Event Log:

[09-05-2006 09:51:51] HOST NOTIFICATION:
1533;CISCO1200_RPL1-MO-1;UP;host-notify-by-email;PING OK - Packet loss =
0%, RTA = 0.60 ms
[09-05-2006 09:51:51] HOST NOTIFICATION:
1533;CISCO1200_RPL1-MO-1;UP;host-notify-by-sms;PING OK - Packet loss =
0%, RTA = 0.60 ms

Everything appears to be working but I get no SMS text message. Am I
doing something obviously wrong as I simply want to run the command at
the top of this Email.

Thanks.

Pete.
