Can anyone whose already done this point me in the right direction for sending out notifications by reading the alerts into a phone call?
The hard part isn't the text-to-speech (I'm assuming I can just use festival for that), or even a pre-recorded message. What's proving to be the hard part for me is figuring out how to reliably make a phone call. We have an existing VoIP phone system, including Cisco routers I could connect to using SIP... if I could find a good command-line SIP calling tool. I also don't want to create a notification method that causes Nagios to back up on notifications. The existing notification methods allow Nagios to quickly hand off notifications to other daemons that ensure reliable delivery (QuickPage, which is wonderful for sending SMS via TAP gateways, and sendmail, which of course handles sending out notifications by email). But I don't want to get distracted by this -- if I could just find a good command-line "place-a-call-and-play-some-audio-into-it" tool, I could wrap it easily in enough scripting to make it reliable. So far I've found notes on using vgetty (and I'm still reading through those), and I've found notes on doing this with Asterisk (but I don't have Asterisk and I hope it's an unneeded level of complexity). There are lots of graphical sip clients available, but I haven't found any others to use from the command-line yet. Suggestions? -- Trever Furnish, tgfurn...@herffjones.com Herff Jones, Inc.
