Send SMS alerts from Opsview

Opsview 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.

Consultation
Configuration

A ready script to download

You download the script from the SMSEagle repository on GitHub and copy it to the Opsview server, with no code of your own to write.

Works with Opsview notification methods

You add SMSEagle as a notification method in Opsview, so contacts get alerts by SMS the same way as by email.

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

Opsview detects a host or service failure matching a configured notification profile.

2

Communication

Opsview sends an HTTP API request directly to SMSEagle 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

It should take about five minutes to have it up and running. Generate an API token in SMSEagle, install the notification script in Opsview, and you’re done.

See setup steps

SMSEagle sends Opsview 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.

SMSEagle configuration

1. Create a new user for this script in SMSEagle > System > Users menu.

2. Go to Settings > Global settings > API, open the API v1 page and click Create API key, fill in Key name and set that user as Owner.

3. In the key form, add the permission for the request you want to send, then click Create key – the access token is shown only once, right after saving.

Opsview configuration

1. Download latest version of the script notify_opsview_smseagle.sh from our repository: https://github.com/smseagle/smseagle-opsview
