SMS alert for specific service

Post by snapon_admin »

Goofy question, is there any way to setup a single service check to send SMS alerts, but have all other checks still use email notifications?

If I had a dime for every time I've answered this question - I'd be $0.20 richer (after this posting).

No - obviously notification commands are a contact construct, not a service construct. The only shenanigans I can think of that you can piece together would be using a notification command as the event_handler - which is indeed a service construct. It won't work well for you though unless the service has a max_check_attempts of 1 - and you only need 1 notification.

Precisely what I figured, thank you sir. Go ahead and lock this one.
