HPE OM alerts reach the person on duty as an SMS or a phone call. SMSEagle sends them over its own cellular connection, so they don’t depend on internet access or a cloud service.
An HPE OM automatic command sends the alert by email or through the SMSEagle API, with no extra software to install.
SMSEagle sends the SMS through its own SIM card, so you don’t pay for a cloud SMS service.
SMSEagle sends alerts through its own SIM card straight to the mobile network, so they don’t depend on internet access or a cloud SMS provider.
An HPE OM policy rule matches a monitored event, for example a Windows Event Log error.
An HPE OM Automatic command runs, sending either an email (via Email2SMS) or an HTTP API request (via curl) to the SMSEagle device over your local network.
SMSEagle delivers the alert over its own cellular connection, not through a third-party service, as an SMS or a phone call to the recipient’s phone.
There are two ways to integrate: Email2SMS or HTTP API. Both work equally well – choose whichever fits your environment.
After the SMS with an HPE OM alert, SMSEagle can also call: a ring-only call or a call that reads the alert aloud. You set it once in the Email to SMS rule.
Escalation groups and shift schedules make sure the HPE OM alert reaches the person on duty, and the next person on the list if nobody responds.
SMSEagle can receive HPE OM alerts by email or through the HTTP API, so you choose the method your network policy allows.
HPE OM can integrate with SMSEagle either via the Email To SMS plugin or via the HTTP API – both options are covered below.
Go to Policy management > New > click on Policy group.
Select a name for the policy group. In this example, we have used Notification Policies. The newly created policy group appears in the Policy Groups list.

Specify the EventLog to be monitored (e.g. Application).
Click on the Rules tab and click New.

When completed, click OK.
There are two ways of configuring HPOM to send event alerts with SMSEagle:
This integration will use the Email To SMS plugin (see details: Email To SMS plugin). This plugin is included in each version of SMSEagle device.
a. Enable Email to SMS in the web interface: Settings > Channels > Email > Email to SMS. Then create a forwarding rule in Automation > Email > Email to SMS. You can forward all emails to SMS or emails from specific domains.
b. Go back to the HP OM application. Click the Actions tab and select Automatic command.
c. Type the following in the Command field:
ovepmail.exe -to 1234567@192.168.1.8 -from hpom@company.com -mailsrv 192.168.1.8 -format plain -body <$LOGFILE> -subject FromHP
d. Click OK once completed.
e. Click Save and close.
The second option for connecting to SMSEagle is using the API (APIv1).
SMSEagle Setup:
HPE OM Setup
a. Install curl (download from curl.haxx.se and move the downloaded file into the C directory).
b. Go back to the HP OM application. Click the Actions tab and select Automatic command.
c. Type the following in the Command field:
"C:\curl-7.22.0-devel-mingw32\bin\curl.exe" --get --data-urlencode "access_token=REPLACE_WITH_SMSEAGLE_TOKEN" --data-urlencode "to=1234567" --data-urlencode "message=Error!!!Source<$LOGFILE>" http://REPLACE_WITH_SMSEAGLE_IP/index.php/http_api/send_smsd. Click OK once completed.
e. Click Save and close.
Select the created rule and click “Deploy on” to install the rule (Alert Email/SMS) on the monitored system/server.
Select the monitored system/server and click OK. Refer to HPOM Help on Policy Management for more information.
SMSEagle has a voice feature that offers wake-up calls for urgent ring-only alerts, or text-to-speech calls to convert text alerts into voice calls. Complete the following steps if you want to add a follow-up voice call:
