Re: Alerts through Nagios very temperamental

   Are you using the smsd?   That would resolve the contention problem.

The smsd is a daemon that comes with gnokii, it reads from a mysql database table. 

  Your nagios notification script would  write a row into the table. Meanwhile the smsd scans the table for unsent messages. 

Thats how we do it at my site.

Cheers

Hi All,

 

Can anybody help me with Nagios notifications?

 

Basically situation is this

 

Host goes down……….

 

The first notification is a text and email.

 

The text goes to 2 admins.

 

Use Gnokii and a Nokia 6301 to send the texts

 

But now the problem………

 

I don’t get alot of the text messages and from my own digging its because sometimes they are being sent at the exact same second and gnokii must refuse both of them rather than queue them.

 

Example of a scenario taken just 25 minutes ago (notification times)

 

HOST………………….EML ADMIN 1……..EML ADMIN 2..…..TXT ADMIN 1…….TEXT ADMIN 2

 

SWITCH1………………..16:24:37……………..16:24:37………………16:24:37………….…16:24:46

 

With the above both admins received the text message

 

 

 

Then another test on the same host 10 minutes ago threw this out

 

HOST………………….EML ADMIN 1……..EML ADMIN 2..…..TXT ADMIN 1…….TEXT ADMIN 2

 

SWITCH1………………..16:41:09……………..16:41:09………………16:41:09………….…16:41:09

 

With the above neither admin received a text message at all

 

Anybody give me any help?

 

Why sometime does nagios tell gnokii to send 2 messages apart and then other times it tells gnokii to send 2 texts at the exact same moment?

 

Cheers

 

 

Kind Regards

Andrew
