Hi,

Doing a SMS gateway with perl or gnokii is really easy. Even Gnokii can have a look in a SQL database to get the data to send to sms.

The main problem is "IP SMS" gateway there is on the network. I understand observium team, and really using plain SMTP with
small messages can be better to be done than adding an extra code.

I guess the question that needs to be asked is what is the required
SLA for receiving messages. Amazon's offering is good, but unless
you have a direct connect to a region you're still reliant on
intermediate providers. You can get a broadband connection exclusive
for sending these messages to not depend on the systems you are
monitoring to be able to deliver them. Alternately you can run
something like <https://z-push.org/> and do most of it yourself.

What about some integration with this? I know it???s offsite...

This discussion was here before. In some cases, sending an SMS is better than sending through API/Push etc. For example, what if you have network failures and you just cannot send anything through Internet?

You can manually configure gnokii and add a rule in email.inc.php to send an alert via gnokii just after sending an e-mail. You could send only a subject of an e-mail, which may be good enough to get knowledge what is wrong.

its not pure sms but imessage like messaging:

http://www.pushover.net

it works really good. besides observium i use uptimerobot.com to monitor availability dsl and cable connections from outside the local lan/network. you can use pushover,net capabilities, the api or send a simple `mailx` command to pushover.net which will forward the message to your ios/Android phone.

therefore with pushover any host who can send an e-mail ( i prefer sendEmail.pl , a standalone pure smtp client written in perl ) is capable to send messages over the internet to an smartphone via pushover mechanism. i won't miss it anymore!

I don't know the project gnokii, i will to research more about it, but i
don't have idea how to do it be integrated with Observium and the alert
be sending at exactly moment that there is a problem with some device.

The main problem is "IP SMS" gateway there is on the network. I understand observium team, and really using plain SMTP with
small messages can be better to be done than adding an extra code.

So, i understand about this main problem, but, not is necessary there is
an "IP SMS" on the network, because with a modem 3G/4G, we can send sms
using the tool gsmssender [¹], together with nagios[²],

[¹]http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man8/gsmsendsms.8.html

[²]https://securfox.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/how-to-configure-nagios-to-send-sms-to-your-mobile/

The current Observium config can already be used to send alerts other than
via email with some small tweaks.
(Warning, this breaks SVN)

We use this to direct alerts to a twitter account, but you could rewrite it
for example to execute 'gsmsendsms' command from the gsm-utils package and
hook-up a GSM unit directly to the serial port. In case of a total network
outage, this should still work.

Add to config.php:
$config['alerts']['external_command'] = "/usr/local/bin/twitter.py";

Locate the notyfy() function in includes/functions.inc.php and add the
following line to the end of that function:
shell_exec($config['alerts']['external_command'].' "'.$message.'"');

That's it!

Hi,
I've been searching on mailing list about this subject and not
successfull, so, i would like know if Observium can send alert using sms
like nagios, Is it possible?
