Handcent SMS on the Android.

So far as I can tell, iPhone users are still limited.  The guys I
work with who have iPhones are hit and miss as to whether or not
they show up during a night time issue.

I refused to upgrade from my Centro until I could confirm it was
possible to setup a touch phone like the iPhone or Nexus One to
wake me.  I never found a way to "fix" the iPhone without jailbreaking
it.  I now have a Nexus One.  So far, I like it better than the
iPhones I've played with.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Mike Chesnut]

This app solves the problem for me on Android: 
http://software.roadkill.com/CustomSMS/

I never did get around this issue when I had an iPhone, though.  Setting 
your Nagios alerts to repeat at an interval that's a multiple of the 
iPhone's alert-repeat was about the best I could do.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Greg Pangrazio]

The only drawback to the android version is that your nagios server
has to be publically accessable.  Mine is not and so those do not
work.  I did set up a test server and was pretty happy with the
results.

I have not used the iPhone version.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Andrew Davis]

 We put in our own sms gateway and have it configured so that all 
alerts go through email unless its related to the network or email 
(which email alerts are dependent upon), in which case they get sms 
instead. We then broke up the alerts such that any sms alert would 
repeat every 5 minutes until acknowledged. That solved the problem for us...

[Bram Gillemon]

I use prowl for this, it's free, fast, and you can set the most things you like 
on the iphone app.

Prowl uses the iphone's push notifications, so you have to have this enabled.

The only problem you have with prowl is that the user can turn of his 
notifications and as far as i know there is no way to detect this.

Re: [Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Assaf Flatto]

  Have them use a decent phone ??

Sorry couldn't resist ..

But more to the point .. i encountered a similar issue with nagios texts 
(alerts) not waking up the receiver of the alert , what we did was 
switch from alert in text format to nagios contacting our VOIP server 
and initiate a call to the contact defined and use a Text-To-Speech to 
generate the "call " .

Most people will wake up when a phone cal comes it , and i suspect that 
the iPhone ring tone is loud enough .

[Nagios-users] How do you wake up an iPhone user???

[Furnish, Trever G]

Thought I would poll the list on this one to see what everyone else is
doing.

The iphone won't let a user specify a custom sound for a text message
alert (unless it's jailbroken).  It won't repeat the notification sound
frequently (once every three seconds, for example).  The existing
notification sounds aren't loud enough or long enough to wake up most
people.  Most of the folks I serve have started to complain that Nagios
can't wake them up -- it's really an iphone problem though.

Has anyone else come up with a good solution and actually put it into
use?  I am considering several options:

1. Write my own iphone app to make the thing go nuts when a text message
is ignored for more than a few minutes.

2. Write my own  system to cause a simple v.Everything modem to call
someone and read them an alert using speex or set up an asterix gateway
to allow such a call to be placed.

3. Use an outside service such as pagerduty or alarmtilt.

I don't quite have the skill for #1, and I don't want to deal with
detecting answering machines for #2, so I'm surprised to find myself
leaning towards #3.

But what has everyone else done?  Is no one else having to deal with
this?
