The Linux Foundation speaks for no-one.

I was appalled after reading the rather rash statements made by Jim Zemlin the Executive director of the Linux Foundation. Let's break down his rather strange comments made to the press and later appeared in the New York Times. Does he represent your views?

HOWTO: Nagios 2-way alerting via SMS

This is a 3 part posting that covers how you can setup 2-way Nagios alerting via SMS.

The series is broken down as such:
  1. Part 1: Background and Requirements
  2. Part 2: Sending SMS messages from Nagios
  3. Part 3: Acknowledging SMS messages

For those that wish to setup simple, inexpensive monitoring you will find that it is simpler than first thought. Feel free to grab the code-snippets provided over the series and make use of it in your own environment.

The Nagios SMS alert system has been running here now in production for approximately 6 months and works extremely well.
