[paul92]

hello guys, im new in this forum and just trying to run zabbix how i need it....

i just made my server send me email notification and it works perfect!

now i need an notification when my system lose any connection...

i think there could be an sms option with an gsm modem...

maybe i could get an sms when the internet connection is gone.. or something like that :/

thanks for any help

What you could do is get a gsm modem and have that sent out an sms.

To set this up you need a trigger that checks the network connection and an action that fires if this trigger fires. The sms mediatype is build in (administration -> mediatypes), you just have to setup the correct device (on our system that's the default /dev/ttyS0).

Finally, configure the mediatype for each user that needs to receive the sms.

Alternatively you can have a script that manages the sms sending and make a mediatype calling that script.

does it work with an umts surf stick?

yes if the stick is supported by linux

if you have a public ip, an easier option is to monitor that ip by an external service like statuscake
