Integrating IPCheck with PageGate
IPCheck can integrate with NotePage Inc.'s PageGate
application to add the ability to send alerts to wireless
messaging devices (pagers, mobile phones, pims, etc.).
Steps for integration:
1) Install IPCheck according to it's documentation.
2) Install and setup PageGate as instructed
in PageGate's help documents.
3) Setup and enable PageGate's Commandline/Ascii
interface.
4) In IPCheck, create a new or edit an existing
monitor.
5) While editing the new/existing 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 (i.e. sendpage-server
down).
8) Choose 'Execute' as the event.
9) In the first edit box, enter the full path
to PageGate's sendpage.exe program (i.e. if you setup
PageGate's Commandline/Ascii interface to poll the 'c:\pages'
directory, enter 'c:\pages\sendpage.exe' in this field).
10) In the second edit box, enter the commandline
parameters necessary to send the message to PageGate.
The syntax is as follows: {recipient} {sender} {message}.
Please note: there must be a space between each parameter,
and the '{}' should not be included. The {recipient}
parameter should be replaced with an existing PageGate
recipient's name. The {sender} parameter should be replaced
with the name of the person/machine/company that is
sending the message (no spaces). The {message} parameter
should be replaced with the actual message (spaces are
OK). It may be helpful to include some of IPCheck's
parameters. Here is an example entry for this edit box:
'mypager system-monitor <#date> <#time> <#server> is
down' (don't include the quotes). This would send a
message the the PageGate recipient named 'mypager' with
a message like '01.01.2001 12:00:00 mail.mydomain.com
is down'. Keep in mind that due to DOS/Windows commandline
limitations, the entire command (the length of both
edit boxes added together) cannot exceed 128 characters.
11) Send a test message by hitting the 'Test'
button on the event manager screen.
