Email Notifications

[kellyjackie at eircom.net]

Thanks to everyone for their response on email notifications, i now have the commands.cfg file configured to work correctly with esmtp(when tested from the command line). The syntax is as follows:
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email

command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/esmtp -C /etc/esmtprc $CONTACTEMAIL$ -f nagios at dpd.ie -X /tmp/esmtp.log 

}

# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email

command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/esmtp -C /etc/esmtprc $CONTACTEMAIL$ -f nagios at dpd.ie -X /tmp/esmtp.log 
}

 
 
However nagios still doesnt send email so there must be a mistake with the configuration files. The windows.cfg file :
define host{
 use  windows-server ; Inherit default values from a template
 host_name invoicepc ; The name we're giving to this host
 alias  invoicingpc ; A longer name associated with the host
 address  10.1.10.101 ; IP address of the host
 notifications_enabled 1
 notification_interval   120
       notification_period     24x7
       notification_options    d,u,r
 }
 
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name windows-servers ; The name of the hostgroup
 alias  Windows Servers ; Long name of the group
 members  invoicepc
 }


define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name windows-pcs
service_description Uptime
check_command check_nt!UPTIME
contact_groups admins
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups admins
notification_options w,u,c,r
notification_interval 1440
notification_period 24x7
}

 
 

The contacts.cfg file reads:
define contact{
contact_name nagiosadmin ; Short name of user
use generic-contact ; Inherit default values from generic-contact template (defined above)
alias Nagios Admin ; Full name of user
host_notifications_enabled 1
service_notifications_enabled 1
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email
email x at email.com ; <<***** CHANGE THIS TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ******
}
