How to force Nagios XI to send sms for critical alerts only.

Post by hguo83 »

Hi,

I have manage to integrate Nagios XI with my sms modem by using this guide here : http://www.sms-integration.com/how-to-s ... s-110.html

My Nagios XI can send sms to my mobile no now whenever there are alerts but i have being receivng all the WARNING, CRITICAL and OK alerts on my mobile phone now and it is kinda flooding me as i have 50+ hosts and 1000+ services configured inside my Nagios XI now.

How do i force Nagios XI to send sms for CRITICAL alerts only ? I tried playing around with the u,w,c,r options in Alert settings but it doesn't seems to have any effect at all.

Can someone please help me out here ?? Many thanks in adavance.

Sorry, I missed this was XI

You would set it in CCM -> Contats -> Edit -> Alert Setting Tag
Select Critical under "Service Notification options"
Save
Apply Configuration
