{bb} Email / SMS Notifications

[cfaulks@aav.net.au]

With the recent purchase of an  Imate,
Bigbrother rocks even more...

I now send email notifications to an
internet (smtp) sms service.

I use the default warning rules to send
* (Red) and restored (green) alerts.

The strang thing is that when I send
the alerts to my smtp email, the details in the email I receive are:
Subject: !BB - 1682510! wea01.svcs -
999172016015011

[BODY]
wea01.svcs - 999172016015011 - [1682510] 


Please see: http://bigbrother/html/wea01.svcs.html
[/BODY]

When I send the notification to my sms
service I receive:

wea01 - svcs 
red Fri Aug 12 11:34:00 AEST 2005 Services
Not OK
green IBM Application Server V5 - Everyplace_Synchronization
- Running
green IBM Application Server V5 - IBMDB2eServer - Running
green IBM WebSphere Applica....

The problem is that the SMS text is
limited to 156 characters which equals approx 2 services and I'm unable
to confirm the critical service.

Why the difference ??

Is there a file which I can customise
the information that is sent to email/sms ? 

as an example:
I have a server that monitors 5 services
the www services dies

http://bb advises displays 4 green OK
services and 1 red

Is there a way to email the critical
service only (www).

My ultimate goal is to recieve a notification
by sms advising the server and the specific alert (srvc) in 156 character
or less

If I could receive the notification
by sms in the same format as email, that would do me...

From within my imate, i then can connect
to http://bb.domain.com
