notifications not being sent on host down/unreachable

[Noel Platzke]

I have a nagios setup consisting of 2 distributed servers and one master
using nsca. I'm having an issue where notifications aren't being sent for
hosts going down or becoming unreachable but I see them in that state in the
GUI and the logs. If a service check fails the notification is sent fine but
if the whole box dies I'm never seeing a host down/unreachable alert. In
fact there is no notification listed in the notification history so it seems
to be a config issue. But I've looked through all of the configs multiple
times and just can't figure this out.

My host, service and contacts are defined with the following templates:

define host{
        name                            standard-host
        max_check_attempts              3
        check_interval                  15
        retry_interval                  5
        check_command                   check-host-alive
        check_period                    24x7
        notifications_enabled           1
        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1
        contacts                        ops
        notification_interval           15
        notification_period             24x7
        check_freshness                 1
        freshness_threshold             300
        register                        0
        }


define service{
        name                            standard-service
        max_check_attempts              3
        check_interval                  5
        retry_interval                  3
        check_period                    24x7
        notification_interval           10
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            u,c,r
        contacts                        ops
        register                        0
        check_freshness                 1
        freshness_threshold             300
}

define contact{
        name                            standard-contact
        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    c,u,r
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email-verbose
        register                        0
        }
