Enabling Out-Of-Band (OOB) SMS Notifications In Nagios With The Multi-Tech iSMS

By Ethan Galstad on January 23, 2012


We’ve had a number of requests from customers that need SMS notification capabilities in Nagios XI. SMS provides a method for sending out-of-band (OOB) notifications over the cellphone network, thereby increasing the reliability and dependability of receiving critical alerts and notifications. This can be especially helpful if you need to receive alerts from your Nagios server in your data center when your Internet connection fails.

To facilitate reliable SMS notifications, we integrated the Multi-Tech iSMS GSM modem with Nagios XI. You can find the integration documentation and component at the links below:

Nagios XI Operations Screen For Your NOC Monitors

By Ethan Galstad on January 20, 2012

A new Nagios XI user asked us to integrate a dashboard into Nagios XI that could be used to display the status of everything that’s being monitored on a NOC screen. We modified an existing project to work with Nagios XI’s authorization functions and voila – a new awesome operations screen for Nagios!

You can download the opscreen component from Nagios Exchange.
