Re: AW: [swinog] SMS alerting solution
We use the "good old" pager which has some advantages: - it works always, doesnt matter where you are (in switzerland indeed) - you dont forget you have pikett ;-) - you make clear who has pikett (as long as you have it, you have pikett) - you hear it (even your neighbors can hear it :P) but for sure, there are some disadvantages: - its kinda big - yet another device Our alerting system goes over a Siemens GSM box linked with serial to a server. Works like a charm ;-) And for the pager you can simply send SMSes, just keep in mind you're limited to 80 chars on the pager.

AW: [swinog] SMS alerting solution
Hi Reza Does it have to be SMS? If it's for monitor-alerting/notification there's another way: real phone call which tells you whats the problem. SMS can be overheard especially when in deepsleep and the receiving mobile doesnt have a long-loud-fancy sms-tone. I have in my nagios box a ISDN BRI card with Asterisk/festival. When there's something to notify, festival text2speech's the alert message, and asterisk callsme and play's back whats about. Festival is not (yet) a good speech-engine, but with a bit a intelligent text and a bit training you got into what nagios is trying to say. And depending on the timeouts you're setting, the message even gets to your voicemail which will be notified by sms (usually). I can even acknowledge problems by pressing '5' :) Cheers josh Von: Reza Kordi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 3.

They are not only capable to send SMS but they can also establish a wireless internet link nearly everywhere in the world. If those are existing for PCI too your problem should be easy to solve. Or you consider adding a PCMCIA-Slot to the server; depends on the price, of course.

If you plan to use SMS to monitor critical systems, don't forget that using a 3rd party service adds several layers for possible errors. While aspsms is very reliable in general, I have had cases where their servers didn't respond or the accepted message didn't get delivered. They offer ways to get a delivery notification, but any kind of failover mechanism has to be built into the customers software. Adding support for a second provider (like clickatell.com) would probably be wise too. regards Flavio ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Re: [swinog] SMS alerting solution
Hello Reza We use http://smslink.sourceforge.net/ with an siemens gms-modem on rs232. The software is pretty simple but dows the job. The main drawback is imo the time needed to handoff an sms to the smsc. But this seems to be a gsm-problem which cannot be circumvent when using a gsm-modem and if you are not sending out a lot of sms it does not really hurt. -- Best regards, Roman Hochuli Operations Manager nexellent ag Saegereistrasse 29 CH-8152 Glattbrugg Phone: +41 44 562 30 40 Fax: +41 44 562 30 41 URL: www.nexellent.ch X-NCC-RegID: ch.nexellent Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality. -- Jules de Gaultier ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Swisscom provides it for really bulky clients. If you're going to send hundreds of messages per day, Swisscom might be a good option, otherwise the setup costs and monthly fees are way too high. Check out also http://www.icall.ch/ They provide various network interfaces for sms sending What I tested was kannel.org gateway with Siemens GSM modem on an RS232 port, installed on a Sun server. I find Kannel one of the most flexible software for this purpose. stan ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

Re: [swinog] SMS alerting solution
Hi Reza
We are using sms_send from the smsclient package under Debian:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/comm/smsclient
TAP/UCP protocol, attached ISDN-Modem
e.g.:
echo "message" | /usr/bin/sms_send -q swisscom:079
/usr/lib/smsclient/services/swisscom:
{
SMS_comms_params = "8N1"# 8 Data, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit
SMS_baud = 9600
SMS_centre_number = "00900900941" # SWISSCOM SMSC Number (ISDN V.120)
}
take care
Philip

Re: [swinog] SMS alerting solution
Hi, One of the simplest way that used to work in my previous job was to attach a (unused) mobile phone that supports rs232 connection to a crappy pc, and use gnokii (www.gnokii.org). It was quite efficient because the monitoring server was running linux and nagios, and everything fitted together just like a charm. But still, it's not an appliance, it's the DIY way ...
