Hi,

Please help me configure sending alerts through SMS.
I've googled but most of them need third party(sms provider) that we need to pay.

Thanks and Godbless!!

Most of them will. Nagios does not have a built-in SMS module, but depending on your SMS provider you might be able to send an email to a special address which will forward to SMS:

Twilio has a free-tier that I've successfully integrated into Nagios Core without too much trouble.

Here's what I'm using as my notification handlers (sanitized of my credentials of course):

Code: Select all

define command {
        command_name    notify-service-by-twilio
        command_line    curl 'https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/<account>/Messages.json' -X POST --data-urlencode 'To=$CONTACTPAGER$' --data-urlencode 'From=<twilio_number>' --data-urlencode 'Body=NAGIOS: $HOSTNAME$--$SERVICEDESC$--$SERVICESTATE$' -u <credentials>
}

define command {
        command_name    notify-host-by-twilio
        command_line    curl 'https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/<account>/Messages.json' -X POST --data-urlencode 'To=$CONTACTPAGER$' --data-urlencode 'From=<twilio_number>' --data-urlencode 'Body=NAGIOS: $HOSTNAME$--$HOSTSTATE$' -u <credentials>
}

And my corresponding contact definition:

Code: Select all

define contact {
        contact_name                    matt.capra
        use                             generic-contact
        email                           <my_email>
        pager                           <my_cell_number>
}
