Centreon SMS notifications – integration manual

Here we describe how to setup Centreon with SMSEagle for SMS notifications. It should take you about 5 min to have it up and running.

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

  1. Create a new user for this script in SMSEagle webGUI > menu Users.
  2. When the user is saved, edit its properties and under API Access token:
    a) check Enable token
    b) click Generate new token
    This will generate a new API access token for your SMSEagle. The API token will be referenced below as SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN. Replace SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN in script below with your value

Centreon Setup

1. Download latest version of the script notify_eagle_sms.pl from our repository: https://bitbucket.org/proximus/smseagle-nagios
Place the plugin in your Centreon plugins directory – usually /usr/lib/centreon/plugins/

2. Create the SMS notification commands.

Go to: Configuration -> Commands -> Notifications.

Press Add new button.
Before you paste the code, please remember to:

  • replace SMSEAGLEURL with URL Address of your SMSEagle device (for example: http://192.168.50.150)
  • replace SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN with your API token for your SMSEagle (for example: NZg2yNmWYb5Q7I3Y3Ifnk5E)

Create first command: service-notify-by-sms

$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICEDESC$ Host($HOSTNAME$) Info($SERVICEOUTPUT$) Date($SHORTDATETIME$)"

Create second command: host-notify-by-sms

$CENTREONPLUGINS$/notify_eagle_sms.pl -s SMSEAGLEURL -a SMSEAGLEAPITOKEN -d $CONTACTPAGER$ -t "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $HOSTSTATE$ Host($HOSTALIAS$) Info($HOSTOUTPUT$) Time($SHORTDATETIME$)"

3. Remember to add newly created notification commands to desired contacts. You can do that via: Configuration > Users > Contacts / Users
