[Opsview-users] Qpage

[Rob E. <re...@ck...>]

Hi all.. Just thought that I might share what I have done to provide paging
notifications from within opsview with no changes to default opsview
install. 
 
Downloaded qpage 3.3 from www.qpage.org. Extracted, compiled and installed
the program using default settings. Edited the qpage.cf file to reflect my
modem location, paging service details and SMS number for each opsview user.
Added nagios user to dialout group, fixed permissions in qpage spool
directory. (These can probably be fixed as part of the compile process).
Added script to /usr/local/bin called submit_sms, containing a one line
"/usr/local/bin/qpage $2 $4" (could probably do better with some error
checking ;)) 
 
In our area, sms messaging is possible through the local TAP number, this
ensures notifications even when the network/internet is unavailable.
 
Enjoy..
