Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications via CDMA
Thomas Sure. If you can afford a second monitoring server in a Thomas different location that will do it though... I.e. monitoring Thomas your monitoring server. This is a good idea anyway, and we have a Nagios install at our colocation facility monitoring our main facility, and vice versa. It makes good sense anyway. But I'm still using SMTP to an external service to send notifications. It usually works fine, but not always. (We have a service we sell sending text messages to several different providers for several hundred users for events (unrelated to Nagios) and on the order of 3-5 percent of these are bounced back from the SMTP service of the provider. While our success rate for IXO/TAP delivery is in excess of 99.5%. Thomas There's also many services that monitor your network from the Thomas outside world - they could be useful too. Right, but I'd like to keep it in house. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Nagios-users] Notifications via CDMA
I'm a Verizon customer in North Dakota (United States) and the only cell network available to us is CDMA. (Just in the last 6 months did we get EVDO.) Right now we use a modem and dial in to the IXO/TAP number for Verizon. This works, but I'm concerned about how long Verizon will maintain a IXO/TAP terminal. (And as a minor point, messages sent via the IXO/TAP terminal are counted as out of network messages by Verizon.) I've been looking around for a way of delivering notifications directly via a wireless modem. If we had GSM service it seems that this is a very easy thing: get smstools3 and one of any of a number of GSM modems. I was wondering if anybody had suggestions for accomplishing this with Verizon and their CDMA network. I've found the MultiTech CDMA MultiModem (MTCBA-C-N3-NAM) but no software to drive it. (We run Nagios on FreeBSD.) And from what I can tell you can't send messages on a CDMA network anywhere as easily as you can with GSM. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
