Fedora and gammu

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good morning, fellow Fedora users. I love it when products work as advertised, and I have been happily monitoring our enterprise network using Nagios with little requirements as of late for help, but recently I began investigating 2-way alerting via SMS using the following as a guide:

 

http://matt.bottrell.com.au/archives/170-Nagios-2-way-alerting-via-SMS-Part-1.html (and the other 2 pages)

 

I can follow the Nagios changes pretty easily, and the mysql setup easily, and even have gammu/wammu installed. However, the biggest pain in the entire process is finding a cellular phone (low-tech phone) that can do SMS that will work with my current setup. We are running two Nagios servers, master and slave, and the master server which is where I am setting up the gammu stuff is currently running Fedora 6 with Nagios 2.12 (I realize this is an out-of-date- setup but it is extremely stable and not broken, LOL). We are somewhat stuck using phones that are provided by our carrier, Verizon, which after having sent them the aforementioned webpages for their review, sent us two phones for demo testing.

 

LG Fathom (DLC200) – which is way more than we need

Samsung Convoy – fairly low tech phone

 

For some reason, the only one that the OS seems to see is the Samsung, and using ‘dmesg’ I can see that the cdc-acm kernel module sees and sets up the ttyACM0 device when the phone is plugged in via USB, however gammu has very limited sight into the phone. So I am not sure if I am chasing an OLD OS that will never work, and OLD version of gammu that is hard to update based on the dependencies it has, or the phone itself not being supported.

 

My first questions would be, has anyone set this up? And if so, what exactly did you do? And what hardware/software combination are you using? And what phone and carrier are you using to get it to work?  There are SaaS services out there that can provide SMS for me, but they are all pay as you go, and I would prefer to do this without any huge investment – we are already going to have to pay the monthly cell charges.

 

Any suggestions/insights would be greatly appreciated
