SMS for Threshold plugin

[mrh]

Hello!
I'd appreaciate very much if someone can explain me how to make Threshold plugin sends SMS under win32. Maybe thourgh gnokii? I've already achieved to get gnokii sending sms from a text file but I don't know how to make PHP write those files and execute the command line for gnokii.

Any ideas or future realeases of thold?

Many thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

Not sure where you're based in the world, be we use an email to SMS company to achieve this:

The prices for the UK are pretty good, but it will really depend on where you're based.

Many thanks for your reply. Anyway I finally wrote a script on KIX to make the sms sending from a GSM mdm. I basically put my localhost as the smtp server for cacti, then converted the mails on the queue to txt files and send them out with gnokii.

Best regards!

Well done, I think it's very useful!
How did you do this, will you share your experience with us?

[mrh]

Yes, of course!

Please find attached the kix-script you'll need to modify to fit your requirements.

Your scheduled task for the poller must be replaced by the batch enclosed.

You will need to download KIX32.exe and the gnokii for windows application. KIX32 should be on a windows path directory. Gnokii files must be placed under %userprofile% root (docs&settings\user\.) of the user which runs the scheduled task (no SYSTEM account possible).

Have luck! And ask me if you need further assistance...

Hello,
on our system I can not found the eml-files.
I can only find in Cacti the place where I can configure the e-mail adress where normaly the message send to.

Can you help please?
If Not Exist ("%systemdrive%\Inetpub\mailroot\Queue\*.EML")

plustotal, you need to install SMTP service on your win32 cacti box. That won't send the messages to anywhere as you don't have to configure parameters for outbound, then the SMTP service will store the emails sent to that hostname (you can put localhost as your email server in cacti) in the Queue folder with EML extension. It's complex and you'll need to spend a lot of time, mostly with the gnokii, but at least the script is already done!

At htis moment I receive e-mails by a threshold. (by exchange??)
Is it stil difficult/cost a lot of time ?

I can not find the queue folder on the cacti server

[mrh]

plustotal,

There's no way (with my script) to receive email + SMS alerts - you need to switch. So if instead of pointing your cacti to send emails via SMTP:yourexchangeserver you need to put the cacti hostname itself, install SMTP on your cacti box (of course needs to be different machine than your exchange server) and proceed

hi MRH...
I use QK SMTP Server, and the queue file has ".qks" extention. there's no file *.eml
I've try to convert queue.qks file into *.txt, but the *.txt file is empty. an error shown that the file is being used by another program.

Would you please give me some solution for this problem?

And,, can you tell me what kind of SMTP server that you use? Please?
sorry for my bad english:-)
thanks.
