 host_notification_period        24x7
 service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
 host_notification_options       d,u,r
 service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
 host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
 email         nedo72 at gmail.com
 }

this is my contactsgroup.cfg

define contactgroup{
 contactgroup_name  Nedo
 alias          Nedo Admin
 members   Nedo
 }

adn this is for my host file i disconnect in order to get email alerts:

define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
template to use
        host_name               Test1
        alias                   Test1
        address                 10.8.2.40
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        check_period  24x7
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,r
        contact_groups  Nedo
        }


and these are the serivice.cfg file for the above


define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of
service template to use
        host_name                       Test1
        service_description             PING
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              4
        normal_check_interval           2
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  Nedo
 notification_options  w,u,c,r
        notification_interval           60
        notification_period             24x7
 check_command   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
 }


and here is my commands.cfg file just incase something i am doing wrong

# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
 command_name host-notify-by-email
 command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.9 *****\n\nNotification
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress:
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" |
/bin/mail -s  "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
 }

also i checked the nagios.log this is wat i get but my gmail is working i am
sending email right now

"%b" "***** Nagios 2.9 *****\n\nNotification Type: PROBLEM\nHost:
