Using Nexmo SMS to let you or your users know its all gone wrong!
So recently I have made one of my scripts a bit more user friendly with PowerShell that uses Nexmo as an SMS Gateway. I am hoping to keep working on this and hope it helps the community out too. I have written this in such a way that you can pass outputs from other scripts or monitoring software! My primary reason was to let users or manager know an application was down or we had maintenance
I still hope to do a few more bits for this over time
- Ability to pull in a CSV or file to text users if AD is offline
- Better granular monitoring/output if you send from multiple aliases eg infrastructure, storage team, etc
- Write a module for vCheck for better integration
- Suppress the outputs on screen and maybe have a switch for this
- Write another health script for my new Nutanix cluster and output errors via this
- Maybe try two way interaction to allow response from listed number to run a restart of a service
Either way the script is held here over at GitHub so keep and eye on here for any updates
I have tried to do my best to allow for numbers to be held in multiple ways in AD such as +44 or with a leading 0 or not and the scripts responds accordingly
Below is a video of this in action too!
