[David Ribeiro]

Hi Andrew, 

# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition 
define command{ 
command_name notify-host-by-sms 
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%.120s" "***** Nagios ***** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: Host $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ " | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ 
} 

# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition 
define command{ 
command_name notify-service-by-sms 
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%.120" "***** Nagios ***** $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ " | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ 
} 

Maybe the last " ?

Objet: [Nagios-users] Nagios Core and SMS alerts (or lack of) through Nagios 




Hi all, 

Im at my wits end. 
Spent 2 days now trying to get Nagios to SMS me through gnokii but a lunar eclipse is a more frequent event! 

So i have Ubuntu 11.04 installed using postfix to email me alerts (works flawlessly) 

Now i also want a text message as a failover incase my Exchange server or internet line goes down. 

I have installed and configured gnokii to what i think is at a functioning level. 
I have a Nokia 6301 mobile hooked up to Ubuntu via USB cable. 

I can send a text message out through the phone via the CLI no issue at all with both my admin user logged in and also when i log in as the nagios user so i know i have the correct permissions on the ttyACM0 port that is assigned to the 6301. 

Will Nagios send an SMS - will it f*£$!! 

Here is my command.cfg relevant part 

# 'notify-host-by-sms' command definition 
define command{ 
command_name notify-host-by-sms 
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%.120s" "***** Nagios ***** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: Host $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ 
} 

# 'notify-service-by-sms' command definition 
define command{ 
command_name notify-service-by-sms 
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%.120" "***** Nagios ***** $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ 
} 


Here is my contact.cfg 

define contact{ 
contact_name MYNAME 
use generic-contact 
alias MYNAME 
host_notification_options d,u,r,f 
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f 
email MYEMAIL 
pager +44XXXXXXXXX 
host_notification_period 24x7 
service_notification_period 24x7 
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email,notify-host-by-sms 
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email,notify-service-by-sms 

Here is my templates.cfg 

define contact{ 
name generic-contact 
service_notification_period 24x7 
host_notification_period 24x7 
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s 
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s 
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email, notify-service-by-sms 
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email, notify-host-by-sms 
register 0 
} 

what can be going on – why will nagios not SMS me? Its got to be a nagios config issue and not gnokii error as I can send text through CLI fine, 

Please help me, im going insane 

Thanks 



Kind Regards 

Andrew
