Jabber notification

[Marc Powell]

I've not used jabber before but is user at localhost a valid jabberid? Also, according to your ./jabber output below there appears to be a 'notify' command line option that is required. Is that the case? Your command definition should match exactly how you would execute it from a command line...

Subject: [Nagios-users] Jabber notification

I was wondering if anyone had gotten the jaber notification to work and could provide me a little insite into configureing this.

I got the jabber script here  <http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=50> http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=50  and configured it. 

Installed the appropriate jabber perl mods to allow sending via the script alone etc: 

[nagios at nagios etc]# ./jabber 
Usage... 
 notify [jabberid] [message] 

Then modified miscommands.cfg as follows according to the jabber script 


# 'notify-by-jabber' command definition 
define command{ 
        command_name    notify-by-jabber 
        command_line    /usr/local/nagios/etc/jabber user at localhost "**$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONT

ACTEMAIL$" 
        } 

Added a line to contacts.cfg for notify-by-jabber to see if it would send, so far nothing.  No errors as far as I can see.

Any suggestions or clarifications would be greatly appreciated.
