edit] Q: How do I use the Alamin SMS Gateway with OpenNMS?

FAQ-Configuration - OpenNMS
Then modify your notificationCommands.

edit] Q: What is OpenNMS?

FAQ-About - OpenNMS
OpenNMS, the application, is the first enterprise-grade network management platform to be developed under the open-source model. The goal is for OpenNMS to be a truly distributed, scalable platform for all aspects of the FCAPS network management model, and to make this platform available to both open source and commercial applications. Data Collection - collecting, storing and reporting on network information as well as generating thresholds.

edit] Q: How Do I Configure OpenNMS/Tomcat to Use SSL?

FAQ-Configuration - OpenNMS
First create a certificate keystore for tomcat by executing $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA Restart httpd, tomcat and opennms just to be sure and after what seemed too long, I was prompted for user name and password. It seems only the first time connecting is real slow, subsequent logins are quite speedy. I wanted to add a few comments to this. First, if you want to use a password other than "changeit", add the keystorePass attribute: <Connector className="org.apache.

edit] Q: How can I use OpenNMS to send pages?

FAQ-Configuration - OpenNMS
OpenNMS already has configurations to use qpage (http://www.qpage.org). You can see them in $OPENNMS_HOME/etc/notificationCommands.xml. I set up users on onms, then setup the users (with the same name) in /etc/qpage.cf. That's pretty much all I had to do in onms. On the qpage side, you need to configure the pager-ids and the service. The key here is that the number used to send alpha pages is not the pager number but a different number talking something called TAP.

edit] Q: How To Configure Thresholds Within OpenNMS?

FAQ-Configuration - OpenNMS
Let's assume that we want to send an alert when hrSystemProcesses exceeds 250. The numeric OID is .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.6 . In this case, said collection definition is listed in my "/opt/OpenNMS/etc/ datacollection-config.xml" file. So what we need to do firstly is edit: "/opt/OpenNMS/etc/thresholds.xml".

edit] Q: What language(s) is OpenNMS written in?

FAQ-About - OpenNMS
OpenNMS is mainly written in Java. The goal for OpenNMS 2.0 is to have a product that will install as a collection of .jar files. icmpd - The 1.4 Java API does not understand ICMP. Since ICMP echo requests ("pings") are the simplest way to test the responsiveness of an IP-based network device, no network management application will be complete without it. The goal is to separate the ICMP functions into their own daemon that OpenNMS will use if present and ignore if not.

edit] Q: How Do I Get OpenNMS to Collect Data from All SNMP Interfaces?

FAQ-Configuration - OpenNMS
With OpenNMS 0.9, the concept of a "primary" SNMP interface was added to the database. By default the interface with the lowest IP address is designated as the primary interface for SNMP queries. Also by default, performance data is only collected for that interface. If you would like to collect data on all of the interfaces on the node, you need to make a change to the /opt/OpenNMS/etc/datacollection-config.

edit] Q: Can I run OpenNMS as a non-root user?

FAQ-Configuration - OpenNMS
The difficulty with the core of OpenNMS is that these components need to run as root to be able to bind to low-numbered ports or generate network traffic that requires root: Here is an example of the error you will get if you try to startup OpenNMS as a non-root user: 2004-08-28 09:47:14,405 ERROR [main] Discovery: Failed to create ping manager: \ java.net.SocketException: System error creating ICMP socket (1, Operation not permitted)

edit] Q: How do I configure Net-SNMP to work with OpenNMS?

FAQ-Configuration - OpenNMS
By default, net-snmp is configured only to allow a really small amount of information to be accessed by the default community name of "public". The easiest way to change this is to find a line like: view systemview included .1.3.6.1.2.1.1

edit] Q: How do I configure OpenNMS to poll my radius server?

FAQ-Configuration - OpenNMS
You must setup the group and create the users. Also make sure that the pg_hba.conf file has the correct security permissions. And then just run psql interactively with these GRANTS for the group access.

What is Alamin?

Alamin GSM SMS Gateway FAQ
Alamin is an implementation of the SMS message gateway. Written in Perl, its principle objective is ease of use, especially in its setup. Security and reliability are two other important considerations. Alamin works by using three daemons that exchange messages via a spool, similar to an MTA (Mail Transfer Agent). Actually, it is an MTA for SMS messages.

I would like to use the SMS gateway in own scripts or programs! Is that possible?

edit] Q: How do I use an USB memory stick to save myconfiguration?

Using FAQ - Knoppix Documentation Wiki
First boot KNOPPIX with the memory stick inserted. Got to the KNOPPIX menu, Configuration, Save Configuration. When asked, choose /dev/sda1. When booting type knoppix myconf=scan home=scan at the boot prompt. This is an issue with the Dell BIOS. Simply pull out the power cord from your computer for a few seconds, and your computer should start again. You can also try passing "apm=off" or "apm=real-mode-poweroff" to the kernel during startup.

What is an SMS message gateway?

Alamin GSM SMS Gateway FAQ
In general, a gateway is a program that allows systems using different data formats to connect to each other in as transparent a way as possible. In an SMS message gateway, one end of the gateway is connected to a mobile telephone network, over which SMS messages are sent. The other end of the gateway can be connected to different systems or services. These most commonly include mail systems and IP networks.

What is an SMS-to-IP gateway good for?

Alamin GSM SMS Gateway FAQ
There are many applications that can use an SMS-to-IP gateway. Basically, the objective is to extend to the GSM network the functionality of client/server applications that currently run on IP networks, and to facilitate the access to various resources from mobile telephones that have the ability to send and receive short messages.

Is TSTT's SMS gateway back online?

www.smstt.com - FAQ
No. The TSTT gateway is still down. Messages are being sent via an international gateway. Unfortunately, that gateway only supports Digicel and b-mobile GSM phones, so TDMA cells won't receive messages from this site.

edit] How many users can the gateway support?

MWS:FAQ - OpenSource
We actually do not know the breaking point for a fact but estimate that the number of concurrent online users is over 100 and is likely to be less than 1000. The number of accounts can be much larger than that. This version should be stable enough, for instance, for university trials.
