SMS Notifications and Alerting via SMSEagle
Send SMS notifications and alerts to your mobile phone from Nagios. SMSEagle is a hardware SMS gateway for IT professionals. The device sends SMS messages directly to 3G/4G network, thus making you independent from 3rd party services (or broken Internet connection). SMSEagle has extended SNMP capabilities, that allow monitoring of GSM/3G/4G signal, SMS sending queue, sending errors, etc. directly from Nagios. The device is designed with focus on reliability and stability. It has a Linux on-board, modern responsive web-interface, database backend, and built-in 3G/4G modem with fail-over mechanisms (based on software watchdog).
This is a plugin for Nagios to send SMS Text Message notifications with SMSEagle - sms hardware gateway.


Simple setup in about 5 minutes.


SMSEAGLE SETUP

1. Create a new user for this script in SMSEagle webGUI > menu Users.
2. When the user is saved, edit its properties and under API Access token:
a) check Enable token
b) click Generate new token
This will generate a new API access token for your SMSEagle. The API token will be referenced below as SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN. Replace SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN in script below with your value.



NAGIOS SETUP

1. Create the SMS notification commands. (Commonly found in commands.cfg)
Replace SMSEAGLEURL with URL Address of your SMSEagle device (for example: http://192.168.50.150)
Replace SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN with your API token for your SMSEagle (for example: NZg2yNmWYb5Q7I3Y3Ifnk5E)

Define two commands:

define command {
command_name notify-by-sms
command_line $USER1$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICEDESC$ Host($HOSTNAME$) Info($SERVICEOUTPUT$) Date($SHORTDATETIME$)"
}

define command {
command_name host-notify-by-sms
command_line $USER1$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTSTATE$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
}


2. In your nagios contacts (Commonly found on contacts.cfg) add
the contact. Field "pager" should contain a mobile number for sms alerts in
full international format e.g. 48xxxxxxxxx

define contact {
contact_name engineer
alias Support Engineer
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email,notify-by-sms
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email,host-notify-by-sms
email engineer@somedomain.com
pager 48xxxxxxxx
}


That's it!
