Notifications - eMail and SMS

Post by eddiez »

I want to send email for warnings and SMS for critical. Do I need to setup 2 different service checks? Or is there a better solution. I am running XI.

I am currently seeking an answer for this as well. I am coming from Zabbix where this was the case. Trying to get familiar with the Nagios way of doing state based notifications. The only thing I have seen is that the Enterprise Edition has a section called "Notification Settings Management" which seems to have this control. Is this the only way? I have not found an option yet.

This cannot currently be done without a custom notification handler. It is on the roadmap for XI 2014 features though.

Can you point me to this "custom notification handler" that you are talking about?

You would have to write one, as there is not one. Essentially a script that you would run as a notification handler or and event handler that would handle the logic to parse the passed macros and then take the appropriate notification action.
