Hello,
I am trying to set up email notification.
In my contacts.cfg file I have
define contact{
contact_name nagiosadmin
use generic-contact ; Inherit default values from generic-contact
template (defined above)
alias Nagios Admin ; Full name of user
email <mailto:anthony at xmanhosting.com.au>
anthony at xmanhosting.com.au ; <<***** CHANGE THIS TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
******
}
and then I have tried to add the contact to a host (switch.cfg):
define host{
use generic-switch ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name Billion ; The name we're giving to this switch
alias Billion 7401 ; A longer name associated with the switch
address 192.168.1.254 ; IP address of the switch
hostgroups switches ; Host groups this switch is associated with
contact nagiosadmin
}
however when I run:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
I get:
Processing object config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/switch.cfg'...
Error: Invalid host object directive 'contact'.
Error: Could not add object property in file
'/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/switch.cfg' on line 30.
Error processing object config files!
Is someone able to assist me to get notifications working?
Thanks for any help
Kind regards,
Anthony
