How to send SMS ?

[Z4Gai]

Is it possible to send SMS in addition to the email notifications?
If so what script is used? with what software?
I have an external cell phone connected to the zabbix machine via cable

Any help will be appreciated

We achieved a solution with an internal ISDN Card but it should work with a Cellphone too.

We are using YAPS (Yet another Pager Software) Version 0.96. We installed it as RPM on a SuSE Linux Enterprise 9 System, but the sources are available too

Configuration is done with the file /etc/yaps.rc (There are various Examples availabe on the net)

You have to configure the Service sections, and -important- in the standard Section which Modem is going to be used.

Try out if it is working from the commandline (i.e /usr/bin/yaps recipient 'message'). Everything is logged to the Console and/or to the logfile defined in yaps.rc, depending on the verbose level.

IMPORTANT : It has to be run as root, i could not get it working as the zabbix user. So you have to to with sudo.

When sending SMS from the console works, doing it from Zabbix is easy.
Create a new Media of type script and use the attached perl script.

SMS with yaps

I´m using also yaps for sending SMS with an internal ISDN card.
But not within zabbix yet, only for UPS monitoring.
But I plan to use it soon.
I do not hope to get too much SMS. If it does there is the the gnokii project.
It works with a serial connected mobile phone, and can save some money.

One bad effect with yaps might be, that you have to make sure,
that only one instance of yaps can start.

I have scripted for that a sort of message queue.
yaps will run from cron every minute and works at this queue.
So it does not matter how many sms are in the queue.
And sometimes, yaps does not send on the first try, because the provider is too busy.

hello,

i configured everything in yaps and for "phone" in "services" i added the phone number of the sms centre of the provider.

i added also a pagerid named "ikke" with my mobile phone number.
So, yaps should call the provider and passthru my number ?
Does it works like that ?

i tried it but i don't get an sms, i changed the number from "phone" into my number just to be sure that it calls and i got my mobile phone ringing.
what is wrong ?

(in example here, i change my number here for the forum)
0475 16 16 22 is the sms centre number, worked fine with other software so i am sure of it.

where do i get the &quot;clickatell.sms&quot; file ?

i whant to setup SMS notification under zabbix
i follow your instructions on http://www.dbzer0.com/the-penguin-migration/zabbix/sms/

i cannot find the file "clickatell.sms" or "clickatell"

i have tried with smssend (version 3.4 on debian) and smssend (version 3.2 on redhat)

where do i get the "clickatell.sms" file

[ddrager]

In case anyone needs clickatell.sms, it is not available on the original website any more. However, I did get it from Google Cache

## SkySMS provider file - http://www.clickatell.com

Just to clarify, you do not need to enter your information into this script. It is passed by command line by smssend.

The best is to use a GSM modem, connecting a phone is not a good idea because the battery needs to be recharged all the time.

For a list of supported GSM modems look here:
