[AusNOG] OOB SMS / Voice alerts to mobile phone

[Rhys Hanrahan]

Hi Shane,

We currently use SMS2Email functionality for this... (for example, SMS Global provide this: https://www.smsglobal.com/services/?_ga=1.125478410.1469842697.1403677673#emailsms)

It's straight forward to setup in Nagios as you're basically just adding another contact into the config, with an email address that will send the SMS to a given number. You would probably also want to define a custom notification command, so that the SMSs are formatted correctly.

As for out of band monitoring, we simply run a Nagios instance outside of our network for this... Though I know there are solutions around that could allow you to send SMS notifications via cellular access etc... Not sure how reliable that would be, though.

Thanks,

Rhys Hanrahan

Hi All,

  I currently use Nagios for all of our system and environment
monitoring, but the one thing I have been missing is the ability to
receive alerts via sms or recorded voice call.
So I was wondering what others have / are using?

I have recently found a company EDAC who seem to make all in one
solutions, though I would prefer something to integrate with Nagios.
