Only alerting by email is supported right now. Most carriers have an email to sms gateway address you can use. http://martinfitzpatrick.name/list-of-email-to-sms-gateways/ http://martinfitzpatrick.name/list-of-email-to-sms-gateways/

The current Observium config can already be used to send alerts other than via email with some small tweaks. (Warning, this breaks SVN)
We use this to direct alerts to a twitter account, but you could rewrite it for example to execute 'gsmsendsms' command from the gsm-utils package and hook-up a GSM unit directly to the serial port. In case of a total network outage, this should still work.
Add to config.php: $config['alerts']['external_command'] = "/usr/local/bin/twitter.py";
Locate the notyfy() function in includes/functions.inc.php and add the following line to the end of that function: shell_exec($config['alerts']['external_command'].' "'.$message.'"');
That's it!

Hi
This is really good, thanks a lot for pointing this tip.
This is something we were really looking for to extend the alerting system.
Dear Observium Development Team,
Could you kindly make this formalize as a generic external call function or something similar, so that it won't break the svn while enabling the users to extend the alerting as they wish.
May be just hook up an additional inc.php file that we can use to put our custom code like below.
With Best Regards,

I do like how Fail2Ban supports an array of custom triggers and actions.

This was supposed to happen in an intended rewrite of the notification stuff, but instead it got extended slightly which complicated the rewrite.
sigh :)
It's not that complex, so maybe someone will squeeze it in.

I think a good way of writing it would me something modular/swappable.
The alerting system would call a default API what could be overrided, we could easily swap in the configuration file (like we can with custom_short_name, and custom_rewrite_location, but more complex I suppose, ideally something that could be defined in an array and chained (first call the SMS notification module if that match a specific critical level, then call the mail notification mobile if that don't, etc.).
It would allow everyone to develop their own notification module for their need (SMS/Pushover/etc.)

It's already modular, there's just no way in the gui to change notification mechanism.
