As Nagios is only run by Plugins, even with notifications, you can do almost anything that transports your informations to a SMS Provider. Pretty cheap is, for example, what I am doing. I have regular old Nokia 6210 cell phone hooked to the Nagios box. Then I use gammu (http://www.gammu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) to Pipe notifications to that cell phone. My notification command looks like this: define command{ command_name notify-by-sms command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Nagios\n\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nTime: $SHORTDATETIME$\nInfo:$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | gammu --sendsms TEXT $CONTACTEMAIL$ | tee -a /var/nagios/nagios-sms.log } As you can see, I use the usual $CONTACTEMAIL$ to store the cell phone number I want to send the sms to. Or, as a more general answer to your question: You can use anything with nagios, that you are able to configure, nagios only limiting you to have a command on your system that'll pipe the info to the device. --Philipp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
