regarding sending sms alerts with xymon
list Akshar Bhosale
Hi, we have xymon 4.2.2 on RHEL 5.3 OS installed for cluster with 32 nos of nodes for monitoring . We are trying to integrate sms alerts with xymon. We have sms server with smash and gnokii setup. How we should integrate this server with our xymon server so that is can send alerts. Thank you, -Akshar B. NDF Computech

Greetings, my company has a 5 person on call rotation that we just started. Up to now only 1 person was paged if something went down, I would like to modify xymon to allow it to change who is emailed/paged based on the week and who is on call that week. Is this possible? Kenneth

Pretty sure the later version or a plugin does that.

You need to write a script that accepts the phone number and status message as arguments, then you just use the SCRIPT command in hobbit-alerts.cfg. Or, you could send e-mails to your SMS server with FORMAT=SMS and let the SMS server map the e-mail address to a phone number. /Johan

It's not built into Xymon, but fairly trivial to do with some creative
configuration of the alerts.cfg (hobbit-alerts.cfg in current versions).
Your alert configuration probably has
HOST=blabla
MAIL user-5e58672ab5a6@xymon.invalid
So poor Joe gets all the alerts. Instead, I would do this:
include oncall.cfg
HOST=blabla
MAIL $ONCALL
and in the oncall.cfg I would put
$ONCALL=user-5e58672ab5a6@xymon.invalid
Then you can update the oncall.cfg file when the on-call person
changes - via cron, manually, or via some basic script/webpage
that you setup. Xymon will automatically pick up when the file
changes.

Another way to accomplish this, although outside of xymon, is to have a
mail alias setup
That is the method we took - mainly because other people outside of xymon
can also send an email to user-f13d2cfb3a97@xymon.invalid
So your rules are
HOST=blabla
MAIL=user-d4bac53b98cf@xymon.invalid
And then outside on the SMTP server for domain.com, we setup aliases that
rotate to the correct people
Not really using xymon in a clever way, but this worked in our setup,
especially with other people being able to just email
user-d4bac53b98cf@xymon.invalid and getting the oncall person

Thanks for both ideas. Will see which fits best! Kenneth.
