Integration with Xymon Monitor

Step 1 — Configure GetAscii with Shared Directory

1. Create a shared directory accessible from both the Windows PageGate server and the Xymon Linux server.
2. Open PG Admin. Go to Interfaces — GetAscii — Settings. Set Polling Directory to the shared path. Check Enabled. Click Apply. Enable for all.

Step 2 — Configure Xymon Alert Script

1. Refer to Xymon alerting scripting documentation ↗
2. Change the script name from smsalert to sendpage in your Xymon alerts configuration.
3. Create the /usr/local/bin/sendpage script (make it executable) with this content:

   #!/bin/sh
   printf "$RCPT\nFromXymon\n$BBALPHAMSG" > /path-to-windows-share/message.asc

   Replace /path-to-windows-share/ with the UNC or mount path to the shared directory.
