notifications 3.0b3 not working.

[Dennis Hünseler]

Hi there,

It's hard to find out what goes wrong if we don't get some parts of the log and some parts of the config files. If you don't see any notifications in the logfile(/var/log/messages) there should at least be some lines like 

Sep 23 11:05:17 caladan nagios: SERVICE ALERT: serv2;SMTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
Sep 23 11:06:17 caladan nagios: SERVICE ALERT: serv2;SMTP;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds
Sep 23 11:07:17 caladan nagios: SERVICE ALERT: serv2;SMTP;CRITICAL;HARD;3;CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds

Important is the line with the HARD state change, which causes the notification.
If there aren't lines like that give us a look at the configs.

Kind regards,
 
Dennis Hünseler

Subject: [Nagios-users] notifications 3.0b3 not working.

Hi all,

I am running Nagios 3.0b3 on Redhat AS4 PPC and everything is great, except that my notifications do not work at all. I have sendmail installed and configured and I am able to send mail from the server by simple sendmail commands and by running the command below:

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" myemail at address.com.au

I look in the nagios log and there is no notification history at all. I have enabled notifications in the nagios.cfg file,  my contacts and contact groups seem to be ok and are listed. 

The timeperiod i am using is the 24/7 so that should not be too much of an issue and everything in the hostc.cfg is there and setup correctly.

I was thinking that this problem had to do with the bug in the previous release of version 3 which would not allow contactgroups to get notifications but allowed contacts, so I added contacts and still nothing. After that I upgraded and here I am.

I have done a lot of looking around in the last few days and am stuck. Any assistance would be appreciated.
