Define contacts and contact groups for SMS messaging in a file
/etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts_nagios.cfg
.
Note: In case you want to send notifications to multiple phone numbers, create a contact for every
phone number and enter each contact into a memebers parameters in a contactgroup (divided with ,
).
In case you are using a standard Nagios configuration and want to add SMS sending for all devices
and services, do not create a contactgroup and add only
peter-gsm
to the
admins
group. The setup is
then complete and the notifications will be sent also via SMS after restarting the Nagios service
(points 3 and 4).
3.3)
Adding SMS notification options to selected sevices and services can be done in their definition,
by adding a contact_groups parameter, for example:
Note: Contacts are usually defined in the device's or service's templates, adding contact_groups
parameters will rewrite the pre-set template. This example is based in a standard settings of an
admins contact group, which uses e-mails for sending notifications. Only SMS messages will be sent
after adding "contact_groups sms" parameter.

A restart of Nagios needed to activate the changes.
