notification emails

[Nick Price]

Ok

 

I am getting in the debug log

 

Notification viability test failed. No  notification will be sent.

 

What is this and how to troubleshoot it.

 

I can send emails from command line.

Selinux is disabled

Yes  printf works

I had the same version of Nagios with the same config files working OK with fedora 14

It is only when I installed it on fedora 16 the notifications don’t work

I think it’s a bug within Nagios

 

I doubt that its a bug in Nagios, as Nagios just uses your system's commands to send notifications.
What is your notification config? can you run the commands the notification uses as the Nagios user?
Is there some security such as SE Linux running?

You could try adding logging to the Notification command eg add a ">> /var/tmp/Notification.log"

or instead of the Notification command being a direct command, make a script for it instead.

Did you also do 

printf ‘this is a test’ | /bin/mail  –s  test_email  email at mydomain.com

?

The defaults are there.

 

 

I did        echo ‘this is a test’ | /bin/mail  –s  test_email  email at mydomain.com

 

 

That went out Ok

 

What to look at next

Did you check the command which is used to send notifications in command.cfg or checkcommand.cfg ?
Maybe you don't have the binary or you need to rename the command.

By default it uses /usr/bin/printf and /usr/bin/mail if I'm not mistaken.

Hello

I am not sure if this is a bug or config issue.

I have a clean install of fedora 16 32 bit  with a manual install of nagios
3.3.1  and nagios plugins 1.4.15.

I see in the debug log

Notification viability test failed. No notification will be sent out.

I can send test emails from this server using sendmail and that bit works


Is there a solution for this.

Regards

Nick
