Server Push Notifications for Android

To send push notifications to the Android App you need to apply these changes. Example using PHP but you can also use a shell script etc. In this tutorial i use Debian Squeeze so path and files could be different to your Linux distribution 1) Edit /etc/nagios3/comands.cfg and insert the following code under the "NOTIFICATION COMMANDS" section # 'server-push-notifications' comannd definition define command{ command_name server-push-notifications command_line php /etc/nagios3/send.php $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ $SERVICEDESC$ "***** Nagios *****nnHost: $HOSTALIAS$nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$nState: $SERVICESTATE$nnDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$nnAdditional Info:nn$SERVICEOUTPUT$" } 2) Create a new file /etc/nagios3/send.php with the following content notification = array( "username"=>"", "password"=>"", "category"=>"", "encrypted"=>"", "flags"=>"", "service"=>"", "title"=>"", "message"=>"" ); } } $pushmsg = new notify_obj(); $pushmsg->notification["username"] = "YOUR USERNAME"; // Change this to the username in your app $pushmsg->notification["password"] = "YOUR PASSWORD"; // Change this to the password set in your app $pushmsg->notification["category"] = "1"; $pushmsg->notification["encrypted"] = "0"; $pushmsg->notification["flags"] = "0"; $pushmsg->notification["service"] = htmlentities($argv[2], ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"); $pushmsg->notification["title"] = htmlentities($argv[1], ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"); $pushmsg->notification["message"] = htmlentities($argv[3], ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"); $jsonString = json_encode($pushmsg); // Send JSON Object to Push Server via Curl $ch = curl_init(); // Replace SERVERNAME with the one mentioned in the settings of the APP. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://SERVERNAME/pushjson.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // See API docs in forum to activate! curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonString); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, '10'); // wait max 10s to complete curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, '8' ); // wait max 8s to connect curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( 'Content-Type: application/json' ) ); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); // Check $result for any status codes coming back from the server if you need ?> 3) Save the file and assign correct permissions so Nagios can execute it later chown nagios:nagios /etc/nagios3/send.php chmod 755 /etc/nagios3/send.php 4) Edit /etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts_nagios2.cfg and configure the default contact like below. Please take note for this example I removed any email notification from the default contact for better readability. For more options see the Nagios Manual. define contact{ contact_name root alias Root service_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f service_notification_commands server-push-notifications host_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_options d,u,f,r,s host_notification_commands server-push-notifications } 5) Save the file and restart Nagios /etc/init.d/nagios3 restart
