On rare occasions, we enable an SMS alerting script,?using the SMS format. We added to alerts.cfg:
$SendSms=/usr/local/sbin/xymon-sendsms.sh $Mobile1=0123456789 $Mobile1=0123456798
Then:
HOST=%^hostname00[0-3].example.com <http://example.com> SERVICE=conn ? ? SCRIPT $SendSMS $Mobile1 FORMAT=SMS COLOR=red REPEAT=60 DURATION>10 RECOVERED ? ? SCRIPT $SendSMS $Mobile2 FORMAT=SMS COLOR=red REPEAT=60 DURATION>10 RECOVERED
The script:
#!/bin/sh
This script is called by the xymon alerts sub-system (see
/etc/xymon/alerts.cfg)
and simply sends an email to an Email -> SMS gateway.
The email is sent using the smtp-source program due to mail being
disabled on the
Xymon server for security and reliability reasons.
This script expects the following environmental variables to be set
when called:
BBALPHAMSG ? - The full text of the status log triggering the alert
RCPT ? ? ? ? - The recipient mobile number.
LogFile="/var/log/xymon/xymon-sendsms.log"
Sender="xymon@
/bin/hostname -f" Recipient="$RCPT at sms.example.org <mailto:RCPT at sms.example.org>" Server="smtp.example.org <http://smtp.example.org>" Subject="Xymon Alert"Date="
/bin/date" Smtp="/usr/sbin/smtp-source"{ ? ? ? ? echo "Subject: $Subject" ? ? ? ? echo "Date: $Date" ? ? ? ? echo "To: $Recipient" ? ? ? ? echo "" ? ? ? ? echo "$BBALPHAMSG" } | $Smtp -M
hostname -f-f "$Sender" -t "$Recipient" -F /dev/stdin $Serverecho "$Date" >> $LogFile echo "$Recipient" >> $LogFile echo "$BBALPHAMSG" >> $LogFile echo "" >> $LogFile

Hi, I've been looking into customizing the email alerts that get sent from our xymon server.? I've played with the SMS option and like the minimal content of the body of the email, but I still want a customized Subject and I want the alert URL included in the email body. I assume the SCRIPT option will accomplish this.? Does anyone have a simple script that they can share? Thanks.
