By default, Nagios can send emails to registered contact. Fortunately, there is also a contact property names pager
which can be used very conveniently. Two things have to be added to your nagios config in order to receive the Nagios notifications via DAPNET.
If you want to send the notifications directly via UniPager, use this solution: Notification to Pager from Nagios via UniPager.
Edit commands.cfg
and add the following lines:
# 'notify-host-by-pager' command definition define command{ command_name notify-host-by-pager command_line /usr/bin/curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -u $USER12$:$USER13$ -d '{ "text": "NAGIOS $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTSTATE$", "callSignNames": ["$CONTACTPAGER$"], "transmitterGroupNames": ["$CONTACTADDRESS1$"], "emergency": false }' $USER11$/calls } # 'notify-service-by-pager' command definition define command{ command_name notify-service-by-pager command_line /usr/bin/curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -u $USER12$:$USER13$ -d '{ "text": "NAGIOS $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $HOSTNAME$ $SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$", "callSignNames": ["$CONTACTPAGER$"], "transmitterGroupNames": ["$CONTACTADDRESS1$"], "emergency": false }' $USER11$/calls }
As you see, there are macros $USER11$
to $USER13$
used. They should contain the API-URL, your DAPNET username and password. Define them in the resource.cfg
:
$USER11$=http://dapnet.db0sda.ampr.org:8080 $USER12$=dl1abc $USER13$=VERYSCECRETPASSWORD
If you don't have HAMNET access to dapnet.db0sda.ampr.org, use http://hampager.de/api
without port (default 80 is right) or use your own DAPNET Core's API.
Edit contacts.cfg
and add the pager subscriber as set in DAPNET and the notification commands:
define contact{ contact_name dh3wr alias Ralf Wilke service_notifications_enabled 1 host_notifications_enabled 1 service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_options w,u,c,r host_notification_options d,r service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email,notify-service-by-pager host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email,notify-host-by-pager email spam@myemail.cl pager dh3wr address1 dl-nw }
The pager
entry defines the subscriber on DAPNET, the address1
defines the transmitter group. Remember to add the commands just created.
Attention: In order to minimize traffic on the DAPNET, please select a transmitter group just big enough to fulfill your requirements. Not whole Europe wants to be informed, that you disk space is below 10%.
Either use the template or define at each host and service the contacts you want to notify.
define host{ name generic-host-rwthafu ; The name of this host template notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications are enabled event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event handler is enabled flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled failure_prediction_enabled 1 ; Failure prediction is enabled process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r contacts rwthafu,dh3wr register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE! }
