I have already tested and used the email method of sending notifications using Sendmail as my relay host. I would be grateful if I get some pointers for sending notifications using SMS to a cell number, in case of service failures and recoveries. I went through the nagios docs. They have mentioned quite a few options for using SMS as a notification method. But it seems that one needs to subscribe to the services of a service provider to use any of those options. And the service provider should be providing services in your country/location. Is it possible to use this notification without subscribing to any specific paid service ? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> we send pages (no sms) using a modem on the nagios box and then this routes to the pager supplier - Relying on email or email-to-sms gateway is dangerous as what happens if all connectivity fails - your alerts do not get through. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
