I've been thinking about this for a while.. It's a pretty easy thing to setup believe it or not. Here is what you need to do: Use Asterisk Have Nagios create a text file containing the error message: "Host X is down - service Y is not running" Place that in /tmp/nagios-error Create a .call file that dials out over a SIP provider, ATA Device, or FXO card, (OR T1 if you're really serious) that will dial your phone, and connect you to an extension (with recorded voice messages) that says there is a problem, press 1 to hear the problem, 2 to acknowledge the problem, 3 to call the next person on the list and so on.. Then listen for input.
If they press 1, have Festival play the /tmp/nagios-error message and return. If they press 2, acknowledge the problem and don't call the next person on the list.. If they press 3, generate another call file with a different phone number. I happen to value my sleep more then any non-redundant servers, so I haven't implemented it here, but we do consulting and run both asterisk and nagios in-house if you're interested in getting some help.

I don't mean like a SMS message or the like. I figure I am more likely to answer my home phone ringing at 0 dark hundred than my cell phone's little email beeps. Also, that would let me alert others that are not actively watching the cellphone, blackberry, etc. I want the system to call my home phone and tell me: "This is your friendly office Nagios system. Host X is down - service Y is not running. The time is now 02:43. Get your butt out of bed and fix it!" I am thinking an interface with something like Asterisk might work. But, not having set up Asterisk before, I am not quite sure where to go. So, I plan on working on getting into it. I have found one other application that did something like this, and when I demod it, the voice quality really stunk, and I could not configure what it said, etc. And, I did not like the monitor aspect of it as well as I like Nagios. Just wondering if I am reinventing the wheel, or does someone has a spare in the garage? ---- For more information about Lewis and Roca LLP, please go to www.lewisandroca.com.
