No notification sent - what am I doing wrong?

[Eivind Olsen]

Hello.

I have a server running Nagios v2.0b4. I have configured some test on 
some hosts. Tonight one of the monitored hosts (monitored through nrpe) 
had a full filesystem, but no notification email was sent from the 
Nagios host.

It's probably just me doing something wrong, but I can't see what it 
should be and I'm hoping someone here might point me in the right 
direction. :)

In nagios/var/nagios.log I see it has detected that the disk is full:

[1135116493] SERVICE ALERT: osl1mux1;Disk use /var;WARNING;SOFT;1;DISK 
WARNING - free space: /var 20 MB (1%):
[1135116553] SERVICE ALERT: osl1mux1;Disk use /var;WARNING;SOFT;2;DISK 
WARNING - free space: /var 20 MB (1%):

WARNING - free space: /var 20 MB (0%):

[1135150513] SERVICE ALERT: osl1mux1;Disk use /var;OK;HARD;3;DISK OK - 
free space: /var 2679 MB (66%):

In the nagios config files, I have defined a contact:

define contact{
         contact_name                    eio
         alias                           Eivind Olsen
         service_notification_period     24x7
         host_notification_period        24x7
         service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
         host_notification_options       d,r
         service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
         host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
         email                           eio at example.com
         }

I have a contactgroup:

define contactgroup{
         contactgroup_name       admins
         alias                   Nagios Administrators
         members                 eio
         }

Here's the generic-host template:

define host{
         name                            generic-host
         notifications_enabled           1
         event_handler_enabled           1
         flap_detection_enabled          1
         failure_prediction_enabled      1
         process_perf_data               1
         retain_status_information       1
         retain_nonstatus_information    1
         max_check_attempts              3
         notification_interval           60
         notification_period             24x7
         notification_options            d,r
         contact_groups                  admins
         register                        0
         }

Here is the host definition:

define host{
         use                     generic-host
         host_name               osl1mux1
         parents                 oslo-mail
         alias                   Mail mux Oslo
         address                 10.0.1.2
         check_command           check-host-alive
         }

Here is the service definition for the filesystem-check:

define service{
         use                             generic-service
         host_name                       osl1mux1
         service_description             Disk use /var
         is_volatile                     0
         check_period                    24x7
         max_check_attempts              3
         normal_check_interval           5
         retry_check_interval            1
         contact_groups                  admins
         notification_interval           960
         notification_period             24x7
         check_command                   check_nrpe_ssl!check_disk_var
         }
