How to configure sms alert on gnokii on CentOS

1. plug your phone into Linux box
2. install gnokii
#yum install gnokii
3. configure gnokii to use our phone: configuration file is /etc/gnokiirc

[global]

# Set port to the physical port used to connect to your phone.
port = /dev/ttyACM0

# Change it according to instructions
model = AT
# Set model to the model number of your phone. For the
# Symbian phones use:
initlength = default

# cable with nk6510 driver.
connection = serial
# port software (eg. minicom). If you have wrong permissions for the
# directory, a warning will be generated. If you don't want a lockfile, set
# it to 'no'.
use_locking = no

# Baudrate to use on serial port connections.
# Currently used only by models AT and BIP/CIMD. Defaults to 19200.
serial_baudrate = 19200


# Gnokii "AT" model uses software handshake by default.
# Possible values: hardware (RTS/CTS - 7 wires) or software (XON/XOFF - 3 wires)
#handshake = software
# forever.
smsc_timeout = 10

# Set this to 1 if you want to break your phone with xgnokii. Works only
# with few Nokia models and FBUS communication
[xgnokii]
allow_breakage = 0

# Set bindir to point to the location of the various gnokiid binaries.
# In particular ensure that mgnokiidev is in this location, with
# permissions 4750, owned by root, group gnokii.  Ensure you
# are in the gnokii group and that the group exists...
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/

# Any entries in the following two sections will be set as environment
# variables when running the scripts.
# Handy for use for $VAR substitutions in your chat(8) script.
[connect_script]
# Don't put your phone number here!!!
TELEPHONE = 12345678

[disconnect_script]


# The following parameters control how libgnokii handles the debugging messages.
# Currently there are three categories: "debug" controls the libgnokii
# normal debug output, "rlpdebug" controls the debug output of the RLP
# subsystem, and "xdebug" is used by the xgnokii or smsd.

[logging]

# where to log the debug output (on: stderr, off: /dev/null)
debug = on

# where to log the rlp debug output (on: stderr, off: /dev/null)
rlpdebug = off

# where to log X debug output (on: stderr, off: /dev/null)
xdebug = off

[phone_fake]
port = foobar
model = fake
connection = serial

# This is internal configuration for fake driver. The purpose is mostly
# testing only.
[fake_driver]
sms_inbox = /tmp/sms


4. define command in nagios to alert with sms in file /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/commands.cfg

define command {
        command_name notify-service-by-sms
        command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Nagios - $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ : $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ IP: $HOSTADDRESS$ ($OUTPUT$)" | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ -r
        }

define command {
        command_name notify-host-by-sms
        command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Nagios - $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ : Host $HOSTALIAS$:ip $HOSTADDRESS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ ($OUTPUT$)" | /usr/bin/gnokii --sendsms $CONTACTPAGER$ -r
        }
5. define template contact to alert with sms in file /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/templates.cfg
define contact{
        name                            sms-test         ; The name of this contact template
        service_notification_period     24x7                    ; service notifications can be sent anytime
        host_notification_period        24x7                    ; host notifications can be sent anytime
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r,f,s             ; send notifications for all service states, flapping events, and scheduled downtime events
        host_notification_options       d,u,r,f,s               ; send notifications for all host states, flapping events, and scheduled downtime events
        service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-sms ; send service notifications via email
        host_notification_commands      notify-host-by-sms    ; send host notifications via email
        register                        0                       ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL CONTACT, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }
 6. define who will receive the sms in file  /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg

define  contact{
        contact_name                    dara

        use                             sms-test
        alias                           dara

        pager                           +85515765093

        }
 

 define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       group-sms

        alias                   Nagios admin

        members                 dara
        }

#note: members can be add more than one



7. define host that we will receive sms if the host is down or unreachable

define host{
        use                    linux-server            ; Name of host template to use
        host_name               mail-server-01
        alias                   mail postfix and pop3
        address                 192.168.254.201
        contact_groups          group-sms
        }


define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  server-group ; The name of the hostgroup
        alias           server farm group ; Long name of the group
        members         mail-server-01     ; Comma separated list of hosts that belong to this group
        }                          
                                                        
8. add user nagios to dialup group
[root@nagios-01]# ls /dev/ttyACM0 -l
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 166, 0 Feb 26 16:14 /dev/ttyACM0

[root@nagios-01]# usermod -a -G uucp nagios

9. restart nagios service

[root@nagios-01]#  /etc/init.d/nagios restart
