Where would one plug in this script? How would zabbix know to call this script? Where would the phone numbers be input in the contact to be fed into the script?

Thanks!

You plug the script in by defining a media type in the config section.

1. copy the script to /home/zabbix/bin (or whatever the homedir of your zabbix user is)
2. Click on configuration on the main page of your zabbix server
3. Add a new media type, be sure to set the type to 'script' and the command to the name of your script.

Now you can add this media type to users. You can add the phone number in the 'send to' field, where you'd normally put the email address for example.

In order to get text messages to pagers in the Netherlands you will need to make a few modifications to sms_client and use a script like the this:

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
#
# Zabbix text pager notification script
# (C) 2005 Bart van Leeuwen
#

NUMBER=$1
shift

# Note, messages to text pagers are limited to 80 characters

MSG="$(echo $* | head -c 80 | sed -e $(printf "s/r*//g") )"

echo ${MSG} | /usr/local/bin/sms_client -l 4 kpntap:${NUMBER} >>/var/log/sema_client.log

KPN supports a variety of protocols for sending pager messages, I tested both TAP and UCP. In order for those to work you will have to add 2 lines to the sms_services file and create 2 new service configuration files:

In /usr/local/etc/sms/sms_services you need to add the following:

        kpntap                  = "TAP"
        kpnucp                  = "UCP"

You also have to add two configuration files in /usr/local/etc/sms/services/:

kpntap

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Sample SMS resource file for PTT/KPN Telcom (TAP)
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

{
        SMS_comms_params = "7E1"          # 8 Data, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit
        SMS_baud         = 19200

        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        # The SMSCnumber MUST be defined.
        # This is the number of your local message center.
        # ------------------------------------------------------------

        SMS_centre_number = "0665181803"  # PTT/KPN Telcom service
                                          # centre number (TAP)
}

# --------------------------------------------------------------------

kpnucp

# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# Sample SMS resource file for PTT/KPN Telcom (UCP)
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

{
        SMS_comms_params = "7E1"          # 8 Data, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit
        SMS_baud         = 19200

        # ------------------------------------------------------------
        # The SMSCnumber MUST be defined.
        # This is the number of your local message center.
        # ------------------------------------------------------------

        SMS_centre_number = "0665181802"  # PTT/KPN Telcom service
                                          # centre number (UCP)
}
