Figure 5 - SMS alert flow via a web-based Email to SMS service provider
GFI Network Server Monitor can relay SMS (text) alerts via a web-based SMS gateway.
Whenever an event triggers an SMS alert, GFI Network Server Monitor will send a “template”
email (via SMTP) to a web-based SMS gateway. This template email contains all the required SMS
alert details including the SMS text message and the recipient‟s number. The SMS gateway then
converts this email to SMS and sends it to the intended recipient.
This template can be customized allowing you to use any provider which supports email
to SMS services.
