nagios not notifying by email

[Mrutyunjaya Dash]

Hi,

You can check you services.cfg file to verify you have notifications_options to w c u r. This might be one of the reason if you had copied services.cfg file from the sample config file.

Regards,
Dash

Hi,

Did you check the timeperiods.cfg file as you are using workhours notification for services, you wont receive notification out of this period.

	Continuing with the problem of nagios not sending email notifications, 
	
	miscommands.cfg uses the default commands for host/service-notify-by-email
	and the paths to mail are correct. I tested the command, and it works.
	I replaced it with echo ... params>>/tmp/somefile but this is not being 
	activated so it must be one of the config params:
	
	contacts.cfg:
	# 'others' contact definition
	define contact{
	         contact_name                    others
	         alias                           Undefined hosts 
	         service_notification_period     workhours
	         host_notification_period        workhours
	         service_notification_options    w,u,c
	         host_notification_options       d,u
	         service_notification_commands   notify-by-email 
	         host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
	         email                           root at netmon.umiacs.umd.edu
	
	         }
	......
	hosts.cfg :
	# Generic host definition template
	         define host{
	         name    generic-host
	         notifications_enabled   1

	         register                0
	         }
	
	# 'host1' host definition
	define host{
	                 use             generic-host 
	                 host_name       host1
	                 alias           host1
	                 address          10.8.122.129
	                 check_command   check-host-alive 
	                 max_check_attempts      10
	                 notification_interval   1
	                 notification_period     24x7
	                 notification_period     24x7
	                 notification_options    d,u 
	                 }

	          check_command           check-host-alive
	           }
	....
	
	Can anyone see where notification by email may have been turned off 
	or have any other ideas on diagnosing?
	TIA
