SNMP and SMS

[cyrill]

Hello everybody !

I've a cacti install with PA, settings and thold.

My configuration of Thold is ok. (I can create treshold and I received alert by mail)

Now, I want to send sms alert ! I still have the Sms gateway and it's configured (I use PageGate) but I don't know how can I get alerts from thold for my Sms server...

do you have a solution or idea ?

thanks for your help

I've got sms gateway too. So... what have i done:
1). i've change the style of sending e-mails, eg:
To: gateway@lala.com
Subj: (phones of users, who is watching over threshold).
Mess: real subject.

But, my problem is:
I can't make a threshold, which alerts me, when host is down.
so, if the host is down, thold can't get current value.
if i create threshold which pings server, sets high Threshold to 10000 and low Threshold to 0... and host is down... it shows only the last succesful ping....

As i said:
1). i've got a script, which parses e-mails, and sends them thru gsm modem.
2). in function thold_mail
i've change the format of sending e-mails:
to: gateway
subject: phone numbers of people(i've change email field in user profile, renamed it to phone number, so, now i've got that field)
msg: old subject is here
3). than, in threshold there's a field:
Notify accounts
This is a listing of accounts that will be notified when this threshold is breached.
so, i select users and...

but... that can work only, if you can make alerts work fine, cause, i can't make threshold to notify me, if host is down.
"Unix - Ping" starts in poller only, if host is up.. if it's down.. it won't start, so, in thold can't trigger it.. any ideas about it?

[cyrill]

where can you change the thold_mail function ???

[liveder]

plugins\thold\thold_functions.php

[cyrill]

ha ok thanks ! I find the function ! Can you past your modifications ???

[liveder]

errr.. something like that =)

Code: Select all

        if ($to == '')
                return "Mailer Error: No <b>TO</b> address set!!<br>If using the <i>Test Mail</i> link, plea
        $to = explode(',', $to);
        $subject = $to;
        $fp = fopen("/usr/local/www/apache22/data/plugins/thold/logging", "a+");
        $log_date=date("H:i:s");
        fwrite($fp, "$log_date\nThis is a new message:\n");
        fwrite($fp, "Was message:\n\nto: $to\nfrom: $from\nsubject: $subject\nmsg: $message\n\n");

//      foreach($to as $t) {
//              if (trim($t) != '' && !$Mailer->header_set("To", $t)) {
//                      print "ERROR: " . $Mailer->error() . "\n";
//
//                      return $Mailer->error();
//              }
//      }
        $to='gateway@gate.com';
        fwrite($fp, "New TO: $to\nNew Subject: ");
//      foreach($subject as $s) {$new_sbj.=$s.",";};
        $new_subj=implode(",",$subject);
        $subject=$new_subj;
        fwrite($fp, "$new_subj\nNew message: $message\n\n\n");
        $Mailer->header_set("To", 'a.zheleznov@chtp.net');
        $wordwrap = read_config_option("settings_wordwrap");
        if ($wordwrap == '')
                $wordwrap = 76;
        if ($wordwrap > 9999)
                $wordwrap = 9999;
        if ($wordwrap < 0)
                $wordwrap = 76;

but there's a fwrite function, which logs messages in /usr/local/www/apache22/data/plugins/thold/logging

ha ok I see.

your sms gateway is a personal server or it's a professionnal server telecom ? How can you parse mails ?

[liveder]

personal server =)

[cyrill]

and what server do you uses ??? Me, I use pageGate but I don't now if it's work with your solution.

[liveder]

selfmade script, which parses e-mails and sends them to gsm modem =)

[cyrill]

and it's hard to build this script for parsing e-mail ?
