+ | ===== Zabbix integration for SMS alerts ===== | ||
+ | This article explains how to integrate a Zabbix network monitoring system with your FoxBox, in order to use it as an external SMS notification system. | ||
+ | === #1: Installation on the FoxBox side === | ||
+ | Your FoxBox is specifically designed for these kind of communication tasks, thus there is not much to do here except: | ||
+ | * Providing a valid IP address, reachable from your monitoring server; | ||
+ | * Inserting a tested and full working SIM card, to send the SMS. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === #2: Installation on the Server side === | ||
+ | First of all you have to download the script to enable SMS notifications, available [[http://www.kdev.it/cli_foxbox.tar.bz2|here]]. \\ | ||
+ | Before installing it, you have to edit these lines inserting your specific values: | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | //Set the following three values: | ||
+ | $foxbox_ip = "192.168.0.98"; | ||
+ | $login = "user"; | ||
+ | $password = "password"; | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | This script, with right permissions in order to allow the Zabbix user executing it, has to be placed inside of the directory// /etc/zabbix/alert.d/ //. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At this point you can already verify the behavior of the script, launching this command: | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | /etc/zabbix/alert.d/cli_foxbox.php 391234567890 "Test message" | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The last step is enabling this new notification channel from inside the Zabbix system. First of all you need to register the new script, selecting //Create Media Type// from the menu //Administration// -> //Media Types// with these parameters: | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | Description: FoxBox | ||
+ | Type: Script | ||
+ | Script name: /etc/zabbix/alert.d/cli_foxbox.php | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now, from the menu //Administration// -> //Users// select an existing user and assign it the //FoxBox// notification channel adding a new media. The configuration is now complete. |
