# Grafana SMS alert
Send Grafana alerts via SMS to a mobile phone, using a GSM modem that
understands AT commands, such as the Huawei E3131 broadband USB dongle.
Fancy SaaS alerting services are great, but what if you want to know
that the internet is down?
This runs as a service on `localhost:8201` - once you've started it,
create a "Webhook" type contact point in your Grafana instance
with the url `http://localhost:8201`.
See Grafana [alerting contact points](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/contact-points/) documentation for background
## Installation (Nix)
TBD
## Testing
Use the sample-alert.json in this repo to simulate the Grafana webhook
invocation and check it's operational
curl -v --data @sample-alert.json http://localhost:8201
