Zabbix Remote Commands + SMS send

[pengu1n]

Hello, all

Here is a deal - I have a Zabbix server, Python installed and GSM modem - IRZ MC55iT connected via /dev/ttyS0 to my server. On Python I've wrote a script to generate SMS message and to deliver it to predefined address. So the thing is - can Zabbix run this script via Remote commands (on Zabbix server itself) and what do I need for it?

As I understand, I will need zabbix agent installed (or not?), and sudo + write permissions on /dev/ttyS0, python script?

Thx in advance.

I have Zabbix installed on CentOS, which has a USB GSM modem installed under /dev/ttyUSB0

We have a bash script which takes in the parameters from zabbix when an alert needs to be sent.

In zabbix itself, we have a media type defined as follows:

Description: smssend
Type: script
Script Name: smssendscript.sh

The bash script is located in /etc/zabbix/alertscripts/
This location is defined in your zabbix server conf.

Hope this helps.

It is simple

Hello,

Well, my bad. Zabbix can work with few GSM modems, plus IRZ MC55iT, which I have. So this info can be add to the Zabbix manual.

All you need to do is:

• Create necessary Media type -> SMS, name it and specify right device. In my case /dev/ttyS0
• Add this media to necessary users with phone numbers - in my case starting with 8 + %PhoneNumber%
• Give write access to necessary device for user, from which Zabbix is started. In my case - user: zabbix, console command:

#>chown zabbix /dev/ttyS0
#>chmod 0600 /dev/ttyS0

So, that's all. After this Zabbix can send SMS successfully to the mentioned users, when necessary trigger will start a specified action.

That's good news. Our modem works like that but for some reason sends 3 x sms messages, so unfortunately we needed to go the external script route.
