    notification without internet connection

    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.

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