Teltonika and Media

[nabberuk]

I have a Teltonika SMS gateway that i would like to use with Zabbix for sending SMS. I can use POST event in the following format to send.

http://10.3.1.7/cgi-bin/sms_send?username=user1&password=user_pass&number=0037060000001&text=testmessage

Looking at the media types and the webhooks i can't figure out how to do this in a simple manner. I'm not sure what to put in the script section, any help on this?

Any help with this and simple URL webhooks, i can't seem to find any examples.

Hi there mate.

I'd say you need to create a script. Simple bash script might be enough. Do something like

#!/bin/bash 
curl --data-urlencode "username=user1" --data-urlencode "password=user1" --data-urlencode "number=$1" --data-urlencode "number=$2" http://10.3.1.7/cgi-bin/sms_send?

And when calling script from Zabbix pass {ALERT.SENDTO} macros as 1st argument and {ALERT.MESSAGE} as 2nd one. Please test it out, as obviously I don't have sms gateway in my lab to give you 100% accurate solution for you.

finally getting around to testing this and i'm getting the following message.

SyntaxError: invalid token (line 1)

When executing this from the CLI i had to encapsulate the url in double quotes

[nabberuk]

So i have this working from the CLI now.
curl --data-urlencode "username=admin" --data-urlencode "password=vayddd" --data-urlencode "number=07793500000000" --data-urlencode "text=test" http://10.1.1.5/cgi-bin/sms_send

But when i add in the $1 and $2 to feed in the data for the number and data i get the error of invalid token.

To clarify, are you trying to do it as a webhook?

If you trying to use webhook type, the same as mentioned above needs to be rewritten in JavaScript, with which I'm not profficient enough to write it for you on the spot.

I meant that you could use "Script" type instead with having bash script in corresponding folder on your Zabbix server so it would get invoked whenever Zabix needs to send SMS.

[ISiroshtan]

$1 and $2 would be replaced by incoming arguments. So if you have saved it as a file, invoking it as below should do the trick

Taking this

curl --data-urlencode "username=admin" --data-urlencode "password=vayddd" --data-urlencode "number=07793500000000" --data-urlencode "text=test" http://10.1.1.5/cgi-bin/sms_send​

as a base for notification message, you modify it as

curl --data-urlencode "username=admin" --data-urlencode "password=vayddd" --data-urlencode "number=$1" --data-urlencode "text=$2" http://10.1.1.5/cgi-bin/sms_send​

and invoke it as

./script.sh 07793500000000 test

This way you can easily pass any phone number as first argument to script, and any string to be used as text.

I can now execute it locally but when running from Zabbix its says it has successfully run but i never receive the SMS.

If i manually change the script and statically put the number and text in, its sends. this would suggest the params are not being passed to the script.

I am using the following code.

#!/bin/bash

curl --data-urlencode "username=admin" --data-urlencode "password=vayaf" --data-urlencode "number=$1" --data-urlencode "text=$2">

For the script params i'm using...

{ALERT.TO}
{ALERT.MESSAGE}

[nabberuk]

I was being an idiot and should have been using {ALERT.SENDTO} for the param.
