I have managed to follow all the instructions to adding the foxbox plugin. However it still does not seems to be sending out any alerts via text messages
can any one shed some light on this?

For reference, are you referring to this?
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ts/details
Are you receiving any errors in your system logs? What happens if you run the command manually from the command line to test?

Based on how it has you define your commands, you may need to edit them -
Code: Select all
command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/sendSMS.sh -h "127.0.0.1" -u "nagiosadmin" -pw "nagios" -n "$CONTACTPAGER$" -m "Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ nService State: $SERVICESTATE$ nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$"
Based on the documentation on the page above, to test over the CLI, try something like this -
Code: Select all
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/sendSMS.sh -h "127.0.0.1" -u "nagiosadmin" -pw "nagios" -n "CONTACTNUMBER" -m "Test message"
(replace CONTACTNUMBER) with a valid number to dial.

i have just also noticed that the file structure on the nagios server is different to whats documented:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/ - this directory does not exists!!
and with regards to the amendments that need to be made to the commands.cfg file. is this the file that is located in :
/usr/local/nagios/etc?
as this file clearly states that any changes will be overwritten by CCM

Nice catch, I didn't realize this was an XI post.
You'd want to adjust the command definition to /usr/local/nagios/etc in the CCM. You can modify your existing commands by navigating to Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Commands -> Find the notification commands you created for the sendSMS.sh plugin -> Adjust the path to be correct.
