SMS- Initial Help

Hi,
I´m really stuck on using sms-notifications.
Can anyone give me some advice?
1 ) I need to hire an external SMS Service?.
2 ) Is there any prebuilt script to start with and modify it as needed?

Sorry for my dummy questions

Hi,

this depends on your setup: If a modem is connected to your CMK server, then you have to install the sms tools for linux. After that you can use the SMS option in your notification rules.

Have a look into the folder share/doc/check_mk/treasures/notifications. There are some useful scripts:

  • braintower and multitech: SMS gateways
  • mobilant: external SMS provider

Hi,
I haven’t tested them and can’t really help you with them but I want to give a shoutout to Heinlein Support Checkmk Repo.

There are scripts for the following provider:
smsout.de
aspsms.com
ecall.ch

Take a look here → check_mk_extensions/notifications at master · HeinleinSupport/check_mk_extensions · GitHub

Thanks @r.sander :+1:

Hello,
we have external service providers for sending SMS. To these we send an alarm mail and this is then converted into SMS. For example, we use https://www.retarus.com/de/services/sms/.
