I wrote my own external Hobbit script to provide a more detailed SMS output, but is still shorter than the regular email alerts. It's really short, so I've copy/pasted it below:

<SCRIPT> #!/bin/bash

msg=echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | egrep "&yellow|&red" msg="\n${msg}"

CODE:

#======= subject="!HB ${ACKCODE}" alert="${BBHOSTSVC} ${BBCOLORLEVEL}" message="\n${alert}${msg}"

echo -e "${message}" | mail -s "${subject}" $RCPT </SCRIPT>

To use this, you replace MAIL [recipients] [flags] with SCRIPT [hobbit home]/server/ext/oursms [recipients] [flags]

where "[hobbit home]" is the Hobbit home directory, and "oursms" is the name of the script above. You can of course name it whatever you want.

Essentially, this does what FORMAT=SMS does, except that it also displays the items that are red. Also, if you use the above script, make sure you don't include FORMAT=SMS.

Hello,

I am rolling my monitoring over to sending email text messages to cell phones using the SMS format option. This works great :-)

but....... Some of the users would like some more information in the message, how can I include some additional parameters... Specifically, when i am using DEVMON and the if_stat monitor status. It comes in the normal email formatting, but not in SMS.

thanks, michael
