Can I connect my SMS Gateway to Centreon?

You can of course use your SMS Gateway to send alarms from Centreon via SMS.

ê It is recommended to create a new user for the script usage. The script uses the HTTP-API of the SMS Gateway.

1 Download and configure the necessary script

For this purpose, you first need the script sendsms.sh. Download it and place it on your Centreon server in the /usr/local/bin/ directory.

Create a file "config" in the directory /usr/local/bin/. This file contains the configuration for the script.

username=<myuser>

password=<mypassword>

host=<IP Address of the SMS Gateways>

#mode=<All modes can be seen here>

#insecuressl=true

#proxy=[protocol://][user:password@]proxyhost[:port]

Lines with beginning # are comments. Commented out options are not necessary.

The option insecuressl=true deactivates the SSL Certificate verification.

All by the "config" file configured values can be overwritten by parameters.

2 Configure Centreon

In this step commands must now be configured for the SMS configuration in Centreon. Corresponding contacts must also be created.

1 Example: Definition for text message notifications

Navigate in the Centreon web interface: Configuration - Commands - Notifications

Add a command notify-host-by-sms:

/usr/local/bin/sendsms.sh $CONTACTPAGER$ "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ - Host $HOSTALIAS$ is $HOSTSTATE$ since $SHORTDATETIME$ info: $HOSTOUTPUT$"

Add a further command notify-service-by-sms:

/usr/local/bin/sendsms.sh $CONTACTPAGER$ "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ - $SERVICEDESC$ on $HOSTNAME$ state: $SERVICESTATE$ since $SHORTDATETIME$ info: $SERVICEOUTPUT$"
