Hi, Did you check the timeperiods.cfg file as you are using workhours notification for services, you wont receive notification out of this period. <div>2006/2/23, Dave Stern <<a href="mailto:dave@umiacs.umd.edu"> dave@umiacs.umd.edu</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Continuing with the problem of nagios not sending email notifications, miscommands.cfg uses the default commands for host/service-notify-by-email and the paths to mail are correct. I tested the command, and it works. I replaced it with echo ... params>>/tmp/somefile but this is not being activated so it must be one of the config params: contacts.cfg: # 'others' contact definition define contact{ contact_name others alias Undefined hosts service_notification_period workhours host_notification_period workhours service_notification_options w,u,c host_notification_options d,u service_notification_commands notify-by-email host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email email <a href="mailto:root@netmon.umiacs.umd.edu">root@netmon.umiacs.umd.edu</a> } ...... hosts.cfg : # Generic host definition template define host{ name generic-host notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 register 0 } # 'host1' host definition define host{ use generic-host host_name host1 alias host1 address <a href="http://10.8.122.129">10.8.122.129</a> check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 1 notification_period 24x7 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u } ... nagios.cfg includes log_notifications=1 notification_timeout=30 enable_notifications=1 services.cfg: # Generic service definition template define service{ name generic-service active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 1 notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 register 0 } # Service definition define service{ use generic-service host_name host1 service_description AVAILABLE is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 10 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups others notification_interval 11 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c check_command check-host-alive } .... Can anyone see where notification by email may have been turned off or have any other ideas on diagnosing?
