Twilio integration

[SavaSC]

Hello,

Since Nagios uses e-mail for notifications then if email goes down, no notifications. We are trying to get around this using a combination of Nagios' built-in notification system and Twilio. Unfortunately, while I have found a couple of things that claim to get Twilio to work with Nagios, none of them are functioning for me.

Does anyone have a working system with Nagios/Twilio that can tell me how they did it?

Thanks!

Have you seen this plugin on our Exchange? It links to the authors website which has some pretty well written instructions -
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/T ... io/details

I saw it, but couldn't get it going. I'll take another look to see if I can find what I goobered up.

It looks like someone mentioned it still works two weeks back, so I assume it should be working.

It should be just getting the API to communicate, let us know if you run into issues and what the problem(s) are, and we can probably help you through.

I'm still not able to get a text to come through. Here is my setup.

I put the twilio-php folder and the sendTxtMsg.php in the /usr/local/etc folder. I did edit the sendTxtMsg.php file to reflect my $sid, $token, & $twilio_number.

I have created the commands in Nagios. Here they are:

Code: Select all

define command{
    command_name    notify-host-by-txt
    command_line    /usr/bin/php /usr/local/etc/sendTxtMsg.php "$CONTACTPAGER$" "Nagios Alert\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nWhen: $LONGDATETIME$"
}

define command{
    command_name    notify-service-by-txt
    command_line    /usr/bin/php /usr/local/etc/sendTxtMsg.php "$CONTACTPAGER$" "Nagios Alert\nType: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nWhen: $LONGDATETIME$"
}

I created a contact with my cell phone number (including the "1" in front). Under Alert Settings -> Manage Host Notification Commands I added notify-host-by-txt to the user.

I created a Host record for a desktop and added the new contact to the Manage Contacts section. I set the Check & Retry intervals to "1" as well as the Max Check Attempts. Also, notification interval is set to "1".

If I turn off the desktop I wait 5 minutes but still get no text. Nagios sees it as down, no problem. No text.

Any suggestions about what I might have done wrong?

From Nagios - does it show that it executed the Notification? I'd like to verify the actual plugin works first off.

Let's try to test the script from the CLI. Can you manually execute it (as the nagios user)? This should work -

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/php /usr/local/etc/sendTxtMsg.php "1yournumber" "test message"

If that doesn't work, check the permissions on the file, and make sure it's executable. Let us know how it goes!

[SavaSC]

When you say the CLI, do you mean the Linux CLI or the Nagios-CLI plug-in? I don't, currently, have the Nagios-CLI installed. Do I need to?

[hsmith]

The linux terminal.

It looks like we have a cert issue, to start with. Our cert guy is out for a couple of days, so I'll have to wait until he gets back to address that part. Here is the output:

Until he gets back, any suggestions?

It looks like the plugin includes an SSL certificate (which I assume is for Twilio's server). https://github.com/JustinCarmony/Nagios ... ficate.crt

They may have updated their cert, which is why you are seeing the error. I checked the certificate for api.twilio.com and it came back as this, so you might be able to replace that file with what I've pasted below -
