I wrote a custom external server-side script to do just that. Consider the license as open source. To use the script, in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file, use something like this: SCRIPT /var/hobbit/server/ext/oursms <distro list> REPEAT=1h COLOR=red,purple

#!/bin/sh

to allow client-side filtering of possible duplicate alerts.

NOTES: BBHOSTSVC = The host affected, and the name of the alert

BBALPHAMSG = The full alert message (same as

BBHOSTSVC [ACKCODE] if FORMAT=SMS)

ACKCODE = The ack code for the alert

BBCOLORLEVEL = The color of the alert (red, yellow, etc)

I was thinking about this too, the only way I could think to possibly do it would be to make a script to grep for &color and send only that line on. The only problem arises if the alert has no &color tag or has multiple (no script has emerged yet but it might once I get back to hobbit in about 2-3 weeks) Jason.

Is there a way or has anyone been able to hack something together to send more detail using the SMS tag. Im using qpage to send out my SMS's to our pagers but it would be nice if it would send along the Error that actually triggered the alert.

server1.somedomain.com.disk red 123456

This is nice but it would be better if it could give you the details,

server1.somedomain.com.disk red "/opt 99%" 123456

or something similar.

Thanks Trent
