Integrate with Existing Applications

Integration with PRTG IPCheck

IPCheck can integrate with PageGate to add the ability to send alerts to wireless messaging devices (pagers, mobile phones, PIMs, etc.).

Integration Steps

  1. Install IPCheck according to its documentation.
  2. Install and set up PageGate as instructed in PageGate's help documents.
  3. Set up and enable PageGate's Commandline/Ascii interface.
  4. In IPCheck, create a new or edit an existing monitor.
  5. While editing the monitor, click on the alarm-clock icon next to the event you want to be notified about.
  6. On the event manager screen, choose Add to create a new event.
  7. Give the new event a name (e.g., sendpage-server down).
  8. Choose Execute as the event type.
  9. In the first edit box, enter the full path to PageGate's sendpage.exe program. For example, if you set up PageGate's Commandline/Ascii interface to poll c:\pages, enter: c:\pages\sendpage.exe
  10. In the second edit box, enter the command line parameters. The syntax is:
    recipient sender message
    (There must be a space between each parameter.) Example:
    mypager system-monitor <#date> <#time> <#server> is down
    This sends a message like "01.01.2001 12:00:00 mail.mydomain.com is down" to the recipient "mypager".
    Due to DOS/Windows command line limitations, the entire command (both edit boxes combined) cannot exceed 128 characters.
  11. Send a test message by hitting the Test button on the event manager screen.
