Here you go
http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... -nagios-xi

This requires hardware - Was wondering if anyone tried a hosted SMS gateway service? I know TeamTILT does this, but they don't seem to work with Nagiosxi immediately and I have requested some instructions and this is what I got:
As I said earlier, we don't have a specific plugin for Nagios xi. Unlike the open source version, Nagios xi saves its configuration in a database. Our Nagios plugin doesn't work like this. In order to use our plugin with Nagios xi, you have to install the Centreon plugin. So, at first, you have to uninstall the actual plugin for Nagios:

1. ps aux | grep Team
2. kill -9 $PID
3. rm -rf TeamTILTForNagios/
4. crontab -e nagios (and delete line about TeamTILT)

Then:

1. In the TeamTILT web interface, click on "Monitoring" and then on "How to Install/setup a TILTConnector plugin?"
2. Download the CENTREON version
3. Download the file "License.txt"
4. On your monitoring server, copy the Nagios launch script and name it "centcore" (this in order to lure the plugin) : cp /etc/init.d/nagios /etc/init.d/centcore
5. Unzip the archive and copy the License.txt in the previously unzipped directory (TeamTILTForCentreon/)
6. Launch the installation with the script "runTeamTILT.sh"
7. When the installation is finish, go to the Nagiosxi web interface
8. Click on "Configure" and select "Enter Nagios Core Configuration Manager"
9. Click on "Commands" and then on "Add"
10. Named it " Host-TeamTILTClient" and copy the command line here under :

/usr/bin/printf "Destination: AllContacts\nSubject: ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ : $HOSTNAME$ **\nBody: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ on $DATE$ at $TIME$\n\n" > `mktemp -p /usr/local/TeamTILTForCentreon/eventfiles/ nagioseventfile_XXXXXXXXX`

NOTE: Adapt the path to the eventfiles directory if needed.

11. Add an additional command and name it "Services-TeamTILTClient" :

/usr/bin/printf "Destination:AllContacts\nSubject:$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ : $SERVICEDESC$ on $HOSTNAME$\nBody: $SERVICEDESC$ on $HOSTNAME$ is $SERVICESTATE$ on $DATE$ at $TIME$\n\n" > `mktemp -p /usr/local/TeamTILTForCentreon/eventfiles/ nagioseventfile_XXXXXXXXX`

12. Click now on "Contacts" and create a contact named "TeamTILTClient.contact". Attach to him the two new notification commands (These previously created)
13. Click now on "Apply Configuration" to restart Nagiosxi and apply the new configuration
14. Now you have to add the contact "TeamTILTClient.contact" to the hosts or services that you want to relay their Nagios notifications with TeamTILT
I haven't tested this in full but it does look a bit cluttered and was wondering if there was anything else out there that directly integrates into Nagios xi?
