Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to enable Nagios XI to send SMS. There seem to be different options. here in Belgium, we could buy an option to use an SMS gateway through an api. We also could use some sort of Mail-to-SMS option. But you guys are promoting the iSMS Multi-tech modem, which seems to be nicely integrated with Nagios XI. The iSMS modem is more expensive though, so I need to be absolutely sure it will work in Belgium with our service provide Proximus.

When I go to the Mobile Text option, I can only see USA service providers (see screenshot). Has this option been confirmed to work with European, Belgian, Proximus GSM providers? Or does this option only works for American customers?

I already contact Multi-Tech and they confirmed their modem works with Belgium GSM providers, but I have to be sure Nagios XI also support using European GSM providers (as they seem to be hardcoded)
This was their answer:

The MultiModem ISMS SMS servers will work just fine in Belgium with standard SIM cards from the local cellular providers. The -EU builds have the correct AC power supply for use in Belgium.

Thanks for letting me know.

Willem

Willem,

Short answer: It'll work

Longer answer, Multitech has a US and a EU model, so it will work in Europe as long as you can get GSM Sims. As for in XI, the email to text you can add more providers through the admin menus. When you enable the multitech component it actually adds a 3rd tab that you don't see right now in your screenshot.

Specifically, Admin -> Manage Mobile Carriers.

Willem: wij werken met een ouder programma alamin. Voor meer informatie kan je terecht bij mij op [email protected]

WillemDH, let us know if you have any more questions.

No. Thread can be closed. Thanks all and nice to meet someone from my own city using Nagios XI..
