Extending Nagios to consume an SMS webservice

[Ayotunde Itayemi]

Hi All,

I am trying to get Nagios to send SMS through an SMS webservice running
on a Windows server.

I can send a message through curl for example so I know it works ok.

For the moment, I just want to be able to send an SMS when a host is no
longer available/reachable.

 

I have been experimenting but it's not working properly (or sometimes
not at all)

I suddenly got one notification by email over a one day period but no
SMS at all. 

 

Ultimately, I want to send both an email notification and an SMS at the
same time. Once I get it figured out, I would like to do the same for
defined services.

 

My modified 'notify-host-by-email' command is as follows:

 

# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition

define command{

        command_name    notify-host-by-email

        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional
Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" |
/usr/local/nagios/etc/celtelconfig/send-mail-sms-alerts.sh

        }

 

 

The sendsmsalerts.sh script is as follows:

 

#!/bin/sh

# called by notify-host-by-email

read INPARAM

MESSAGE="appCode=Nagios&fromNumer=NAGIOS&toNumber=2348013556519&shortMes
sage=$INPARAM"

curl -d $MESSAGE
http://sms-server/smswebservice/smsservice.asmx/SendMessage

 

 

a sample working curl message is of the form:

curl -d
"appCode=Nagios&fromNumer=NAGIOS&toNumber=2348013556519&shortMessage=Nag
ios Calling at 1:41PM"
http://sms-server/smswebservice/smsservice.asmx/SendMessage
