Hi guys,

I just add on Mobile Text under notification method..
I'm using SendQuick as my SMS gateway..
After added the mobile phone number and mobile phone carrier...

Do I need to create "Host Notification Commands" & "Service Notification Commands" ?
What is the next step to configure alert sending to Email and SMS ?

I will assume for the moment that you followed this guide:

If you click your username in the upper right-hand corner and then click "Notification Methods" you can choose to receive email and/or mobile text alerts. Then if you click "Notification Preferences" you can fine-tune which alert types should be sent out for which host or service states.

Please let us know if you have further questions.

If you followed that guide it should use the standard "xi_*_notification_handler" commands to take care of the email/sms.

Hi tmcdonald,
Thanks for your information.
by the way, I'm using sendQuick as my SMS gateway...
After I followed the link that you shared with me earlier, but I still unable to send any SMS to any specific mobile number...
Is there anything else we need to configure?

It looks like SendQuick is a hardware modem? If that is the case you would need to contact the manufacturer and see if there is an API or anything that can be used to send SMS messages. If there is then we can certainly come up with a command that would use the modem to alert.

However you should still be able to use the [email protected] method if you are in an online environment and your provider allows that sort of thing. Do you see any entries under Home -> Notifications? Any alerts that are sent out should be listed there.
