Send SMS alerts from OpManager

OpManager alerts reach the person on duty as an SMS. SMSEagle sends them over its own cellular connection, so they don’t depend on internet access or a cloud service.

Native SMSEagle support in OpManager

SMSEagle is on the list of SMS providers in OpManager. Select it, enter the device address and access details, and alerts start arriving by SMS.

SMSEagle can also watch the OpManager server

If the OpManager server fails, it can’t send alerts. SMSEagle can check that server itself and send an SMS when it stops responding.

Works without internet

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.

How it works

1

Event Trigger

An OpManager notification profile matches a monitored condition.

2

Communication

OpManager’s built-in SMSEagle SMS Provider sends an HTTP API request to the SMSEagle device over your local network.

3

Alert

SMSEagle delivers the alert over its own cellular connection, not through a third-party service, as an SMS to the recipient’s phone.

Set up in about 10 minutes

Select SMSEagle as the SMS Provider in OpManager’s SMS Server Settings, create a notification profile, and you’re done.

See setup steps

SMSEagle sends OpManager alerts to the right person by SMS, day and night.

No per-message fees

SMSEagle sends SMS through a regular SIM card, so you only pay for your mobile plan.

Alerts keep going if one carrier fails

On devices with two SIM cards from different operators, SMSEagle switches to the second one when the first operator’s network is down.

Alerts keep working even if one device fails

Two SMSEagle devices can work as an HA cluster: if one fails, the other takes over sending.

How to monitor your OpManager server? (optional)

OpManager is a perfect monitoring tool, but what if its server hardware fails? Even the best hardware can experience failures. That’s where SMSEagle steps in with its feature called Network Monitoring. SMSEagle can monitor IP addresses or TCP ports and instantly send an SMS or make a call when a failure is detected. This ensures you can always keep an eye on your monitoring server.
