Problem receiving notifications

[Tedman Eng]

Does your system's email function properly?
Check are your system's mail queue for hints to errors.

Test using something like this:

# /bin/mail youraddress at yourdomain -s "Test Message" -v
Test message body
.

(that's a dot "." on a line by itself)


If all that plumbing works but nagios still doesn't send, check your
notification commands (default in misccommands.cfg)

Subject: [Nagios-users] Problem receiving notifications


So, after using the version of Nagios in portage rather than compiling it
from source, it worked with the exact same configs (no idea..)

I now have it setup with a simple ping check for testing purposes and it
appears to be working - if I unplug the device, it goes critical, plug it
back in, goes back to green. All looks good.

However, I setup an email notification for testing purposes - tried two
different addresses and I'm not receiving them.

The log says:

[1100885497] HOST NOTIFICATION: Simon;testmodem;DOWN;check_ping;CRITICAL -
Plugin timed out after 10 seconds

The web interface says:

testmodem 	N/A 	HOST UP 	11-19-2004 11:35:51 	Simon
check_ping 	PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 22.27 ms
testmodem 	N/A 	HOST DOWN 	11-19-2004 11:31:37 	Simon
check_ping 	CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds

under notifications sent...

But I never receive the notification. What method does Nagios use for
sending and is there anything anywhere that needs to be configured to allow
it? (No ports are currently blocked on the server except 137-139.)

Thanks for any hints/tips/URLs to FM's :)
