A host going down. A threshold breach. A failed check. Any of these can happen at 3 a.m., and someone needs to know. SMSEagle connects to Centreon and turns these events into an SMS or a voice call, delivered from your own hardware: no internet required, no third party involved.
You download the script from the SMSEagle repository on GitHub and copy it to the Centreon server, with no code of your own to write.
Separate notifications for servers and services mean the SMS tells you straight away where the problem is.
For the most important alerts, SMSEagle can call instead of sending an SMS: a ring-only call or a call that reads the alert aloud.
Centreon detects a host or service state change.
Centreon sends an HTTP API request directly to SMSEagle over your local network.
SMSEagle delivers the alert over its own cellular connection, not through a third-party service, as an SMS or a voice call to the contact’s phone.
It should take about five minutes to have it up and running. Generate an API token in SMSEagle, define the notification commands in Centreon, and you’re done.
SMSEagle sends Centreon alerts as an SMS, a ring-only call or a call that reads the alert aloud, all from a single device.
Escalation groups and shift schedules make sure the Centreon alert reaches the person on duty, and the next person on the list if nobody responds.
Two SMSEagle devices can work as an HA cluster: if one fails, the other takes over sending.
1. Download latest version of the script notify_eagle_sms.pl from our repository: https://github.com/smseagle/smseagle-nagios
Place the plugin in your Centreon plugins directory – usually /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/
2. Create the SMS notification commands.
Go to: Configuration -> Commands -> Notifications.
Press Add new button.
Before you paste the code, please remember to:
Create first command: service-notify-by-sms
$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICEDESC$ Host($HOSTNAME$) Info($SERVICEOUTPUT$) Date($SHORTDATETIME$)"
Create second command: host-notify-by-sms
$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTSTATE$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -c ring -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICEDESC$ Host($HOSTNAME$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -c ring -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTSTATE$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -c tts -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICEDESC$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -c tts -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTSTATE$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -c tts_adv -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -voiceid SMSEAGLEVOICE -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICEDESC$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -c tts_adv -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -voiceid SMSEAGLEVOICE -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTSTATE$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"
3. Remember to add newly created notification commands to desired contacts. You can do that via: Configuration > Users > Contacts / Users
You can use the SMTP server installed on the SMSEagle device to send emails. In this scenario, emails from Centreon are sent directly to SMSEagle, without any external mail server. The SMTP server on the SMSEagle device accepts only messages addressed to it. Other messages are rejected.
SMSEagle is a hardware & software solution that guarantees a swift delivery of your messages to designated recipients, whether it’s for notifications, alerts, or important updates.
After registering to a demo you get a remote access to our physical device NXS-9750.
