Host Down Notifications not being sent

[Justin Brown]

Thanks for the tip. I looked and the title of the command is correct in my
contact definition. Also, there are no messages in nagios.log indicating
that it is trying to send out emails.

Not sure if it pertains to your situation, but one of the problems I had
moving to 3.x was that the "host-notify-by-email" command definition name
had changed. See templates.cfg - I believe it changed from like
"notify-host-by-email" to "host-notify-by-email". (or vice-versa - I'm not
on my Nagios box at the moment so I'm not positive) - anyhow, I had the same
issue until I changed them all in my (old) cfg files to match the new
definition names in the 3.x template.cfg file.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Host Down Notifications not being sent

 

Hi,
I have been using Nagios 2.x for almost 2 years now and I have been very
happy with its performance. Recently I decided to upgrade to version 3 but
when I did Nagios stopped sending out notifications. I figured that I had
some bugs in my configuration so I rebuilt the whole thing one object at a
time using the Nagios 3 documentation. When I had completed that Nagios
still did not send out down notices and I don't know what to do other than
revert back to version 2.

When I go to the Host detail page for a server it says that notifications
are enabled. I know my email command works because I can send custom
notifications just fine. The system correctly displays a server going down
and then up (nagios.log records this as well) but no notifications are sent.
I have doublechecked both my contact and host objects and I can't find
anything wrong. Notifications are enabled in nagios.cfg. Is there anywhere
else I should be looking? Any help you could offer would be greatly
appreciated.

Here is my contact object:

define contact{ 
        contact_name                    office 
        alias                           office 
        host_notifications_enabled        1 
        service_notifications_enabled    1 
        host_notification_period        24x7 
        service_notification_period     24x7        
        host_notification_options        d,u,r 
        service_notification_options    u,c,r 
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email 
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email 
        email                            myemail at mycompany.com 
    } 




And here is the host object (slightly edited):

define host{ 
        host_name               server 
        alias                   Server 
        address                 123.123.123.123 
        parents                 parent_host 
        check_command           check-host-alive 
        max_check_attempts      10 
        check_period            24x7 
        notification_interval   10 
        notification_period     24x7 
        notification_options    d,u,r 
        contact_groups            office_group 
        icon_image                tux.png 
        icon_image_alt            Linux 
        vrml_image                tux.png 
        statusmap_image            tux.gd2 
        } 



Naturally the contact I provided is in the 'office_group' contact_group.

Thanks in advance.
