Need help to integrate smstools inside my nagios, please list the steps of installation and integration.

We'll need some more information. Are you using a plugin with SMSTools, or are you just trying to use bare SMSTools? What has been done so far to get SMSTools working, and where is it stuck?

From nagios out I am not able to send SMS

Posted: **Tue Sep 17, 2019 10:33 am**

Let's add nagios to the smstools group

Code: Select all

useradd -G smstools nagios

Make the files in /var/spool/sms/ writeable by group

Code: Select all

chmod g+w /var/spool/sms/*

And change the outgoing file back to being owned by smstools:smstools

Code: Select all

chown smstools:smstools /var/spool/sms/outgoing

You may need to restart the Nagios service as well, just to make sure it picks up the new group membership. Give that a try and let me know how it goes.

Check this

I think i have an issue with /tmp too

Posted: **Tue Sep 17, 2019 4:25 pm**

Would it be possible to see a full list of /etc/group? You can pm the file to me, if you're worried about posting it on the forum. The reason is, I'm looking over the errors from your earlier post, and I caught this one.

Code: Select all

2019-09-14 11:54:44,3, GSM1: Couldn't open serial port ttyUSB0, error: No such file or directory, waiting 30 sec.

I'm wondering if there's a group, other than smstools, that might be used to access ttyUSB0. I'm guessing that your SMS device is a USB device, and is showing up as ttyUSB0.
