Hi Andrew,
How are you configuring your sanity checks in Nagios?
Thanks.

A combination of the "parents", hostgroups, and escalation. I'll post my
configs later, but once you have confirmed that SMS is setup and working (make
sure that for every email alert, you also get an SMS alert), then you define
your network topology and put them into hostgroups. In my case, I have a
hostgroup of "network-core" which includes my core routers, firewalls, Exchange
server, Exchange storage, and the switch connecting the Exchange system with
the firewall. I then have a contactgroup of the SMS addresses of three key
people (myself included). If any of those device fail, Nagios sends
notification via SMS. If anything else fails, it goes via emails. The kewl
thing is I'll often sleep through emails, but if I get an SMS, I know something
serious failed and I force myself to get up...
Additionally, I tend to define a sanity check: a ping to yahoo and http to MSN
and non-caching dns query of Google. If all sanity checks fail and are not
resolved within 4 hours, then through escalations, an SMS is sent to the
manager of the support team at our ISP as we likely have a bandwidth down
issue. If sanity checks AND a core network device fail, my ISP doesn't get
notified as we know its us...

I've been messing around with this, off and on (as time permits). How did you
set up your config to go to SMS only if email fails?
Thanks

In "Nagios 2nd Edition" from Wolfgang Barth, he covers this in section 12.4.2.
He covers "smsclient", "yasp", and "smssend", but he points out what Jim
pointed out... most are email to SMS conversion tools so if email is done,
you're still not notified. "smsclient" and a modem resolve this. I have it
installed and working fine. Our normal notifications go via email, but if a
network device or email server is down, then notifications go via SMS.

I'm new one in Nagios system.
I work in mobile cellular operator company. And I need to know is there any
chance to get notification alert via sms to my mobile phone when BSC or HLR
equipments go down or stop working?
Is there any configuration on Nagios? And how to connect Nagios server to
sms center.
Currently I use an external email-sms service similar to
http://www.intellisms.co.uk so I can send emails from Nagios in the
usual way and have them converted to SMS. It's extremely easy to set
up, but has the disadvantage that if the email system goes down, we
don't know about it!
Alternatively, you could connect a mobile 'phone to your Nagios server
and send SMS using gnokii http://www.gnokii.org/ or similar, or your
mobile operator might well have an http interface you could use or can
recommend other options.
In Nagios, you specify the notification methods in command definitions
which you can write yourself so it's extremely flexible. See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html under the
heading "Notification Methods".
hth,
Jim
