Here are some breadcrumbs I will leave for myself and others...
Read this for instructions as logging into cli as the site user of your check_mk
install twilio library as site user:
OMD[mysite]:~$ pip install twilio

copy the above script to : /omd/sites/name of your site here/share/check_mk/notifications/

edit the following lines as the TwilioRest client has been deprecated.

• line 7: from twilio.rest import Client
• line 9: SID
• line 10: TOKEN
• line 29: client = Client(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN)
• line 30: FROM NUMBER

How does this send the message? What internet service needs to be available? I would like to setup nodeping on-prem monitoring to watch the on-prem checkmk server can reach the twilio messaging internet infrastructure and have nodeping notify me if it notices that my checkmk cannot send sms alerts via twilio. is a ping check to a specific twilio internet host enough, or do we know a http connection against twilio that I coudl check for on a specifc twilio sms messaging server?

Hi are you guys still able to help?

I did as it was informed but I'm still having trouble to make it work.

Where should I Insert the number I want checkmk send the messages to?

The number is expected in the environment variable NOTIFY_CONTACTPAGER
