Splunk 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.
You install the SMSEagle app from Splunkbase and enter the device address, with no scripts to write.
In any saved alert you add the SMSEagle SMS action, and the message can include details from the search.
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.
A saved Splunk search matches a condition and triggers a configured alert.
The SMSEagle SMS Alerts trigger action, installed from Splunkbase, sends an HTTP API request 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 to the recipient’s phone.
The process is easy and should take about 10-15 minutes. Install the SMSEagle app from Splunkbase, generate an API token in SMSEagle, and you’re done.
SMSEagle sends SMS through a regular SIM card, so you only pay for your mobile plan.
On devices with two SIM cards from different operators, SMSEagle switches to the second one when the first operator’s network is down.
Two SMSEagle devices can work as an HA cluster: if one fails, the other takes over sending.
That’s it! 😊
Perform a search in Splunk and then navigate to : Save As -> Alert -> Trigger Actions -> Add Actions -> SMSEagle SMS Alerts.
On this dialogue you can enter:
• “Message” – contains SMS text. You may use Splunk custom alert action tokens in this field. The action tokens will be replaced with values from alert. More information can be found in Splunk docs under topic “Advanced options for working with custom alert actions”.
• “Phone Number” or “Phonebook Group name”. “Phone Number” should be in format: country code + number, for example: +1XXXXXXXXXXXXX (Without any _ or any other symbol). “Phone Number” can also be a comma delimited list of numbers. “Phonebook Group name” is a name of a group created in SMSEagle Phonebook.
• “High Priority” – if set to yes, message will have a high priority in SMS sending queue
• “Unicode” – if the Message contains national characters, set “Unicode” to yes
• “Flash” – “No” for normal SMS, “Yes” for flash SMS
• “Date” – (optional) enter date in YYYYmmDDHHMM to schedule it to a particular GMT date time.
