How to configure icinga/nagios to alert via sms

alertsicinganagios

I know the sms gateway for my cell phone provider so I can just send an email to it.

I am looking for examples of entries in contacts.cfg and commands.cfg that are mobile specific.

In contacts_nagios2.cfg:

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       admins
        alias                   Nagios Administrators
        members                 user
}
define contact{
        contact_name                    name
        alias                           name
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-sms
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-sms
        email                           mail
        pager                          MOBILENUMBER
}

And in commands.cfg

define command{
       command_name notify-by-sms
       command_line script-to-sms-service
}
define command{
       command_name host-notify-by-sms
       command_line script-to-sms-service
}

Take a look at nagios.log or /var/log/messages to see you have nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION whenever you got "string was not found" on the Web UI.

In Icinga (Nagios), how to configure hosts with multiple IPs

You can define a custom object variable, something like this:

define host {
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               server1
        alias                   server1.gertvandijk.net
        address                 10.1.2.3
        _wan_address            1.2.3.4
        }

then call it as $_HOSTWAN_ADDRESS$ macro:

define command{
        command_name    check_wan_http
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -I $_HOSTWAN_ADDRESS$ $ARG1$
        }

define service{
    use                     generic-service
    hostgroup_name          apache
    service_description     Apache
    check_command           check_wan_http
    process_perf_data       0
    contact_groups          admin
}
