Easy Guardian - Send SMS from Nagios PDF Print E-mail

!! PLEASE NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS RELATED TO AN OLDER EASY GUARDIAN SYSTEM VERSION !!

Think how nice would be to receive SMS notification from NAGIOS for your monitored services, in this tutorial we will see how to send notifications via SMS.

NAGIOS SMS ALERT NOTIFICATION

Using Easy Guardian EMAIL to SMS gateway function it is really simple, just setup NAGIOS to send out email notifications and then setup
Easy Guardian gateway to forward email to sms following this guide:
http://www.smsfoxbox.it/the_news/latest_news/how_to_join__sms_to_your_server_environment.html

Here there are some sample files to tune up Procmail configuration so that the system will divert each message to the
designed mobile phone number.

To divert all email messages make sure that the .procmailrc script located inside /etc/ folder looks like this:

SHELL=/bin/sh VERBOSE=OFF
 MAILDIR=/mnt/flash/root/procmail
 DEFAULT=/mnt/flash/spool/mail/mails
 LOGFILE=/mnt/flash/spool/mail/procmail.log
 #OUTFILE="/mnt/flash/spool/smsgw.out.XXXXXX"
 OUTFILE=$(/bin/mktemp /mnt/flash/spool/outgoing/smsgw.out.XXXXXX)
 
 :0
 *  ^Subject:.*
 {
 :0      b
 | grep -v ^$ | sed '/To:/G' | /etc/sms/scripts/email2sms
 }
Here you can download the script email2sms that you have to put in /etc/sms/scripts/.
Replace in the script the XXXXXXXXXX with the designed mobile number and if you want uncomment blocks to
add more destinations. 
#!/bin/sh
