sending SMS through SMS Gateway

Post by barry1946 »

I need to send SMS from nagios through a mobile operator SMS gateway which Supports SMPP Protocolwhich we I have access to it through an IP network.
I reviewed the nagios_csmpp olugin in below ((http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... pp/details))
but there is no part to introduce the sms gateway IP address to it.
so which plugin should I use and how should I configure nagios to use it.
I cannot use any GSM Modem or cell-phone.

Could you attach the plugin to your next post? The plugin author's website is timing out for me so I cannot download it to review it.

I attached it . the site seems to be dead . for me the same.
i am not insisting to use this plugin at all , for me I just need a plugin to send the alarm notification to the sms gateway.
and I dont know that should I install another package besides the plugin on my Nagios server for sending this notification to the sms gatewat or not . I say this because I saw this topic : (Kannel SMS Gateway for Nagios Alerting) in the following link:

Have you tried using the SMS email address for the provider? Or is this all being handled by you?

the problem is I dont know how to do it, but to make things clear , we are the service provider and have no problem for accessing to sms gateway.
do I need kanel or packages like this for sending email to the sms gateway besides the nagios plugin?

If you are just sending an email to the sms gateway, just using a notification command to send an email will do.

All you should have to do is change the email address to that of your carrier's sms address. I believe that is where abrist was going with this.

the sms carrier does not have a email address . they create a number for each subscriber and bind it to the IP address of the server (Nagios server)

Well Nagios itself is not an SMS gateway, you would either need to set up an iSMS gateway of sorts "we have documentation on how to do this with Multitech GSM modems" or you would need to provide a mail to SMS address, verizon, tmo, att, etc all provide this address. I guess I am not quite sure why your provider is generating numbers and binding them to your nagios server, do they have any ideas on how to implement this in the fashion that they are working, as it sounds like they/you went ahead with this project without knowing if it was completely possible or not.
