hi all
I´m really desesperate because I dont know which other config file I should
look.
My mail server (postfix) is working because if I run
$> ps aux | mail pescobar at cifp.es
I get a mail.
I have this two files:
[root at centos64 nagios]# cat contacts.cfg
define contact{
contact_name pablo
alias pablo
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
#service_notification_options c
#host_notification_options d
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email pescobar at cipf.es
}
*****************************
*****************************
[root at centos64 nagios]# cat contactgroups.cfg
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name sysadmins
alias sysadmins
members pablo
}
both included on nagios.cfg
[root at centos64 nagios]# cat /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg | grep contact
# groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc. I guess it would
# separate from host and contact definitions...
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/contacts.cfg
# host/contact/service configuration files. Setting this to 60 means
I have also verified that the "host-notify-by-email" and "notify-by-email"
commands that are defined on commands.cfg work if I run them on a terminal.
and I am using this service and host templates:
define host{
name generic-host-gen
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
contact_groups sysadmins
check_command check-host-alive
normal_check_interval 3
max_check_attempts 3
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u
}
define service{
name servicio-generico-gen
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval 5
max_check_attempts 3
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
check_period 24x7
notification_options c
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 0
check_freshness 0
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
contact_groups sysadmins
}
everything on the web interface seems to work and I havent found any error
related to mail on logs but I can´t get mail notifications when a service or
host fails.
¿¿any clue about what I´m doing wrong??
many thanks in advance for any help and sorry for a so long mail :)
Pablo
