Hallo - ich suche eine Möglichkeit einen Alarm via SMS zu versenden ( Anschluss via USB and den Rechner ) - i'm searching for an option to send out an Alarm via SMS ( connected with USB )
-> e.g. from Pässler-Server or Remotenode
-> any idea, how could that be solved ( Hardware/Software)
regards Henrik
Hello Henrik,
Thank you for your message.
With PRTG, you can send SMS by executing HTTP request to an online provider (ex: BulkSMS) or locally to an SMS gateway (ex: SMSEagle) installed within your infrastructure. Please, note that the SMS can only be sent from the Core server. It is not possible to trigger them from a remote probe.
Here are some documentation (article and video) which provide examples and explanation about how it works: https://helpdesk.paessler.com/en/support/solutions/articles/76000063334-how-can-i-send-sms-text-message-notifications-via-a-modem-or-a-mobile-phone-with-prtg https://blog.paessler.com/sending-prtg-sms-notifications https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK2qY7CgV08
If you have questions, do not hesitate.
Regards, Florian
