I guessed Nagios had implemented by default the acknowledgementent via e-mail by default just replying to the e-mail but I discovered that it doesn't work. Somebody did? how? Regards, Jorge <div class="WgoR0d"> </div></div></blockquote><div> 1) install postfix 2) install procmail 3) use the following procmailrc for the nagios user: LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmailrc.log VERBOSE=yes PATH=/usr/bin :0 * ^Subject:[ ]*\/[^ ].* | /usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/processmail "${MATCH}" 4) /usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/processmail is at the end of this email 5) the program assumes notifications are formatted like mine. I put them at the end of this email too. 6) when you receive an alert on your blackberry while at the bar, simply reply to the email and prepend the subject of the alert with: "something ack" I'm probably missing some things so if it doesn't work right away, post back and I'll help as much as I can. This comes with no warranty. Its poorly written perl. It probably has a huge security hole. There's probably a better way to do this. It very well may turn your servers into an Atom bomb and blow up the moon. Just warning you... :) Thanks, Terry ################################ define command{ command_name notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nNotification Number: $SERVICENOTIFICATIONNUMBER$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/notification $SERVICENOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ localhost <a href="mailto:nagios@domain.com">nagios@domain.com</a> $CONTACTEMAIL$ "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" service } define command{ command_name notify-by-epager command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nNotification Number: $SERVICENOTIFICATIONNUMBER$\nInfo: $SERVICEOUTPUT$\nDate: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/sendEmail -s localhost -f <a href="mailto:nagios@domain.com">nagios@domain.com</a> -t $CONTACTEMAIL$ -u "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$" } define command{ command_name host-notify-by-email command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nNotification Number: $HOSTNOTIFICATIONNUMBER$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/notification $HOSTNOTIFICATIONNUMBER$ localhost <a href="mailto:nagios@domain.com">nagios@domain.com</a> $CONTACTEMAIL$ "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" host } define command{ command_name host-notify-by-epager command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Host '$HOSTALIAS$' is $HOSTSTATE$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\nTime: $LONGDATETIME$" | /usr/bin/sendEmail -s localhost -f <a href="mailto:nagios@domain.com">nagios@domain.com</a> -t $CONTACTEMAIL$ -u "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - Host $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$" } ######################################## #!/usr/bin/perl $correctpassword = 'something'; $subject = "$ARGV[0]"; $now = `/bin/date +%s`; chomp $now; $commandfile = '/var/log/nagios/rw/nagios.cmd'; if ($subject =~ /Host/ ){ ($password, $what, $junk, $junk, $junk, $junk, $junk, $host) = split(/ /, $subject); ($host) = ($host) =~ /(.*)\!/; } else { ($foo, $bar) = split(/\//, $subject); ($password, $what, $junk, $junk, $junk, $junk, $junk, $host) = split(/ /, $foo); ($service) = $bar =~ /^(.*) is.*$/; } $password =~ s/^\s+//; $password =~ s/\s+$//; print "$password\t$what\t$host\t$service\n"; unless ($password =~ /$correctpassword/i) { print "exiting...wrong password\n"; exit 1; } # ack if ($subject =~ /Host/ ) { $ack = "ACKNOWLEDGE_HOST_PROBLEM;$host;1;1;1;email;email;acknowledged through email"; } else { $ack = "ACKNOWLEDGE_SVC_PROBLEM;$host;$service;1;1;1;email;acknowledged through email"; } if ($what =~ /ack/i) { sub_print("$ack"); } else { print "no valid commands...exiting\n"; exit 1; } sub sub_print { $narf=shift; open(F, ">$commandfile") or die "cant"; print F "[$now] $narf\n"; close F; } </div></div></div>
