Server Monitoring
Our Email to SMS or Developer's SMS API products allow notifications to be sent immediately to one or more on-call members of staff.
This service is ideal for business use, and makes text messaging facilities available to any machine or application within your organisation.
Virtually all NMS's have the ability to send notifications out by email. To enable the NMS to send alerts out by text, simply add your toText.net email address to the distribution list; for example:
07807908266@totext.net
- Email to SMS: Emails can be sent from within a script - for example:
echo "/dev/hdb2 at 90%" | mail 07807908266@totext.net
- Text API: Alternatively, if your machine does not have email access, you can call our API directly:
domain=www.totext.net
path=selfcare/com/zipzaptext/selfcare
action=SendMessagesApi.action
wget http://$domain/$path/$action
--post-data="username=user1234&password=pass1234
&destination=07807908266
&message=disk monitor:/dev/hda1 at 90%"
- Email to SMS:
Emails can be sent from within a script. Here's an example using CDO:
Set objMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objMessage.Subject = "Disk monitor"
objMessage.From = "server@mydomain.com"
objMessage.To = "07807908266@totext.net"
objMessage.TextBody = "/dev/hdb2 at 90%"
objMessage.Send
Once you have registered an account with us, simply configure your server or application use either the Email to SMS or Developer's API services.
