Re: Nagios SMS Alert Using gnokii tool due t o failure of "gammu & wammu" tools - CentOS 5.6 i386 platform

[Nishith Vyas]

Hello,

Just i have successfully configured "gnokii" tool & able to send sms. Below are the steps. I have used "Sony Ericsson W810i, connected with USB on CentOS 5.6 i386 OS platform"

Step:1
yum install gnokii

Step:2
After installation, edit /etc/gnokiirc file & make below changes.

port = /dev/ttyACM0     ---> tail -f /var/log/messages command is showing my mobile on /dev/ttyACM0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = no
serial_baudrate = 19200
bindir = /usr/sbin/

Step:3
execute "gnokii --identify" command to get output of your configured mobile phone. Please check below lines for more information.

Received message type 06
IMEI         : <Your Mobile IMEI Number>
Manufacturer : Sony Ericsson
No flags section in the config file.
Model        : Sony Ericsson W810
Product name : Sony Ericsson W810
Revision     : R4EA031  R4EA031
Serial device: closing device

Step:4
Use below command to send SMS

SYNTAX : echo "Your Message" | gnokii --sendsms <mobile number>

Example : echo "This is a Test SMS" | gnokii --sendsms 9879597301

That's it.

Now, My next stage is to configure this SMS Service with Nagios to get SMS Alerts automatically. Please guide me if someone is having expertise in this utility.



Advance Thanks,
Nishith N.Vyas

I tried a lot to upgrade glibc package to install gammu,but having failure. Thus, I am trying to install "gnokii" & "gsm-utils" tool to send TEST sms. I am using "Sony Ericsson W810i" mobile phone & below is the kernel message while inserting the phone into USB port.

Stage:5

Now, I am following below URL to install "gnokii & gsm-utils". But, I am unable to find "gsm-utils" package using yum.

The Link is :- http://securfox.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/how-to-configure-nagios-to-send-sms-to-your-mobile/

The error which i am getting is,

Hello Friends,

I have tested SMS Alert Using Nagios 3.3.1 successfully on CentOS 5.7 i386 platform. Below is the SUM UP of used tools.

Nagios Core = 3.3.1
Nagios Plugin = 1.4.15
gnokii = 0.6.30-1.el5
Modem Used = Micromax MMX610U USB Modem (Pen Drive Sized)
Mobile Used = Sony Ericsson w810i & w200i

Now, my NMS (Network Management System) can send SMS if certain HOST & Service is Down. Also It is possible to get HOST & Service OK Message after it's DOWN state. Using this method, anyone can easily calculate "downtime" for a particular service & host !!!!!!!!!!!!
