I spent the last couple days working on setting up SMS alerts for Nagios, and let me tell you, I have not been able to make a feasible breakthrough on this project task. Unfortunately, all my research time have generated the same result. Some of the websites and Nagios forums I have visited keep offering the same solution to getting SMS operational on a Nagios server.
One of the widely used option works with installing gnokii, which is essentially a modem driver for mobile phones. However, that approach also requires that have a mobile phone that uses a SIM card to be physically connected to the monitoing Nagios host/server, for my purposes this is not practical. One of the setup even talked about having access to a modem/gateway of some sort. I have resigned to the fact that this part of the project, may require a lot more effort than what meets the eye.
I believe the next best practical approach would be to address something that is more easily attainable at this point, and then revisit this issue that is of course if time permits. At this point the goal would be to gain approved access to a number ARM processors within the network infrastructure, get those devices configured and move forward/backward from that point. Let's see how this phase progresses. I will offer new details to you'll on my next blog session.
