Here is a summary of solutions mentioned in response to my posting to BBLISA and SAGE:
- Dean Anderson mentions this article: http://www.linuxjournal.com/files/linuxjournal.com/ufiles/LJ191_UsingSMSforNagios.pdf which involves using an SMS device to interface with Nagios. The MultiTech device in the article is mentioned by Daniel Rich. - Lukas Karlsson uses QuickPage - http://www.qpage.org/ with a modem and POTS line. There were a few others suggesting qpage as well. - Derek Balling suggests the Siemens TC65T - several others recommend using an old cell phone or modem to send the texts directly. - Jens Link and Daniel Rich mentioned the decreasing lack of support for TAP (and also lack of support for WCTP) - Several suggestions about having multiple types of notification in case one fails. - Brian de Smet suggests www.pagerduty.com but Phil Pennock said his colleague had encountered some trouble with them. - A couple of people mentioned that AT&T has an enterprise paging option that gives you an SLA for your texts. http://enterprisepaging.com/faq.jsp I hope I didn't miss any of the suggestions. I think the route I am going to go is to grab a MultiTech iSMS and put it on to AT&T with an enterprise paging plan. Then I can have big brother use the API to send messages. Thanks all for your suggestions. Ryan _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
