Event notification via SMS

Volker Neumeyer — Fri, 10 Mar 2006 11:27:53 GMT

Hi all,

I am looking for a solution to generate automaticly an SMS if a critical event occurs in the HP Systems Insight Manager (Ver. 5.0-SP4).

Here in Germany I have the possibility to send an SMS via ISDN ...but therefore, I must copy automaticly a file to a specified folder on the CMS-server if a critical event occurs.

Thank you for any ideas

Volker

The most common method is to send via an email gateway.

Hi David,

thank you for your suggestion ...we use an email gateway, but I am looking for a solution for a redundant server management. To generate an email and send it ...you need a lot of equipment which should work (email-gateway, Router etc.) ...I want to generate an alert if the email-gateway does not work. ...the connection via ISDN or an analogue modem works direct (without any other equipment which must be available).

Kind regards
Volker

I don't know about Germany but certainly here you can send an SMS message via a modem to the telco.

You'd need a modem connected directly to the HPSIM Server and some software to talk to the Pager. generally not difficult even a scripting tool like perl could do it.

You'd then just set up a Custom Command to do what needed to be done. You could even format the message a lot more to your liking using the variables sent by HPSIM to the Custom command.
