Not getting email alerts

[Youngblood, Gregory (SAIC)]

He just told you that hosts and services have _different_ settings. You
included that in the quoted portion of your message just now. Just because
your getting service notifications does not mean you have host notifications
setup.
 
Might I suggest you go through the configuration and set your host
notification options to something similar to your services notification
settings -- perhaps if one works, then the other will too. Once you get them
working that way, then you can customize them to your needs.
 
The instructions in http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html>  and
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/notifications.html>  as well as the
example config files included in the nagios package provide just about
everything you need to make this work.
 
I suggest you check the following: 
hosts.cfg -> notification_[interval|period|options] and
notifications_enabled
misccommands.cfg -> an entry for host-notify-by-email [assuming you are
using this file and already have an entry for notify-by-email]
contacts.cfg -> host_notification_[period|options|commands]
 
Another suggestion - you can add a ping test to the services list for the
host in question. Since your getting your services page, a failed ping test
would tell you that a server is probably offline or experiencing other
problems.

Guys,

The catch is I receive emails on snmp traps and disk quota etc.....

But not on the host down or unreachable.

Please let me know If you need any config files to look at.
I will send them.

THanks,

As I mentioned before,

I am receiving emails for other services, like disk checks cpu

utilization etc. 

But host goes down , I dont get any emails at all.



And the email id is fine. As everything is happening on the same

server. 



    



  

pertinent to troubleshooting. Additionally, I suggested you look in

your nagios.log to verify that nagios was sending out the alerts.

What did you find? 

      



...?
