Hello,
We have a sms getaway for sending sms and it written by PHP.
The file contain just 5 line.
I want to use it for notification by sms for nagios.
when i run file in command line like this : php /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/sms.php "test"
it send me sms contain test word.
also when i run this command in SSH it sending me an emtpy sms :

# /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Svc:$SERVICEDESC$ Host:$HOSTALIAS$ Addr:$HOSTADDRESS$ State:$SERVICESTATES$ Date:$SHORTDATETIME$" | php /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/sms.php "$CONTACTPAGER$
Array
(
[0] => 2250972535
)

so i put this in the commands.cfg and restarted the nagios but it doesn't send me any alert

define command{
command_name notify-service-by-sms
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Svc:$SERVICEDESC$ Host:$HOSTALIAS$ Addr:$HOSTADDRESS$ State:$SERVICESTATES$ Date:$SHORTDATETIME$" | php /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/sms.php "$CONTACTPAGER$
}

Should i add anything else in any other files ?!
What is the problem with that ?!

Regards

I suggest to manually run the command line (and any other tests you can think of) as nagios user, and see yourself the results in order to debug.

Instead of just | php use | /full/path/to/php or check that the context that Nagios is running in has access to the php executable.

did you set your contact to use the notify-service-by-sms command?

I tried but didn't work

The contact and phone number and everything is set into that file and also i tried like this using curl to the sms getway url but it didn't work in nagios but it work in command line and send a empty message :

| curl "http://big_url_into_sms_getway_website_contain_user&pass&myphonenumber=$CONTACTPAGER$"

Hi sysmanz,

To help you debug your command, here is what you can do:
At the end of your command in your command.cfg add the following red part
if you don't get anything in /tmp/nagios.notification with >> try with tee
This is normal as you didn't specify any message to be send.

Best regards,
Angel.
