OpManager SMS notifications – integration manual

Here we describe how to setup ManageEngine OpManager with SMSEagle for SMS notifications.

How to monitor your OpManager server? (optional)

OpManager is a perfect monitoring tool, but what if its server hardware fails? Even the best hardware can experience failures. That’s where SMSEagle steps in with its feature called Network Monitoring. SMSEagle can monitor IP addresses or TCP ports and instantly send an SMS or make a call when a failure is detected. This ensures you can always keep an eye on your monitoring server.
