Email notification

[Valdinger, Stephen (DOV, MSX)]

Yeah, do that works! So I don't know why it's not portin me over to the
exchange box for these notifications, unless my Nagios user isn't set up
right for email or something strange like that. Does anyone have some
documentation on this?

All the default command does is string a couple of shell commands
together 
- try mail -s Testing me at wherever.com at a shell prompt - you should
then 
be able to type in the body of the message, and use CTRL+D twice to
close 
and send - if this works, you're golden, but like I said I think the
mail 
package is missing from Ubuntu by default and I had to apt-get install 
mailx to get the mail program installed. Have to use SUSE now for 
commercial support, but I don't have to like it X-) - found Ubuntu much 
nicer to be honest.

Yeah, we are sending out the emails to an Exchange box using the
postfix, 
well trying to haha. I'm just using the default configurations just 
changing it for my name and email addy and hostnames and what-not. I'll 
put that command back to normal and see if I can't get something to 
happen. Notifications are all enabled as well.

Yes, I understand your problem - what I'm saying is that Postfix (as far

as my knowledge extends) is a MTA, not a 'mail sending' program like elm

or mail or whatever. It gives you the capability of sending and
receiving 
mail depending on configuration, but doesn't actually do the job - it's 
Exchange to Outlook if you like, or Domino Server to Notes.

So what exactly do you type at a shell prompt to send a test mail?
Can you pipe text into this command?
What is your Nagios notify-*-by-email command?
Are notifications enabled for the service/contact/timeperiod/globally?
Can 

you see the command being called in the Nagios log?

To be honest, the printf/mail combination works pretty well IMHO out of 
the box, though I added some HTML stripping as we format some of our 
custom plugin output to look nice on the console. I'd concentrate on 
getting the standard command to work, which it should quite happily with

Postfix.
