Zenoss SMS alerts - integration manual

Here we describe how to use SMSEagle for Zenoss SMS alerts.

SMSEagle is an offline hardware SMS gateway. Therefore no external connection to 3rd party system is required. All notifications are generated on-premise and sent directly to a cellular network. This solution can be used in secure installations without Internet access.

SMSEagle Setup

Create a new user for this script in SMSEagle.
Open the Access to API menu, enable APIv2 and generate an access token.
In the same menu, assign the right permissions (depending on what type of message/call you want to send)

Zenoss Setup

Download latest version of the script zenoss_smseagle.py from our repository: https://github.com/smseagle/smseagle-zenoss
Edit following lines in the script:

SMSEAGLE_USER = "john"
SMSEAGLE_PASSWORD = "doe"
SMSEAGLE_IP = "192.168.0.101"

Optionally, change the parameters required for TTS calls:

SMSEAGLE_DURATION = 10
SMSEAGLE_VOICE_ID = 1

Save the script to the location: [ZENDIR]/bin/zenoss_smseagle.py (where [ZENDIR] is your Zenoss directory).
Ensure that it’s executable (chmod 755 zenoss_smseagle.py).

3. Add a cell phone number to the “Pager” field of each Zenoss user account.

4. Go to Advanced->Settings and modify the “Page Command” to:

$ZENHOME/bin/zenoss_smseagle.py $RECIPIENT
