Different notifications

[Janet Post]

Hello.

 

I have a similar configuration at my office.  The trick is all in how
you set up the contacts.  Set up your contacts with the notification
levels that they require separately, and than put them in a group
together, something like this:

 

Define contact {

Contact_name                           User-Email-Warn

Service_notification_options        w,r

Service_notification_commands   notify-by-email

...}

 

Define contact {

Contact_name                           User-SMS-Critical

Service_notification_options        c

Service_notification_commands   notify-by-sms-internet

...}

 

Remember that both of those contacts are the SAME user, but one gets
only warning (and recovery's) by email, and the other gets only
criticals by sms. Now you put both entries for this user into one
contact group:

 

Define contactgroup{

Contactgroup                             Email-and-SMS

Members                                   User-Email-Warn,
User-SMS-Critical

...}

 

 

Hope this helps.

Janet.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Different notifications

 

Hi.
I configured Nagios 2.9, but I have some doubts about the notifications.
I need some different types of notifications:

- by e-mail
- by SMS by Internet
- by SMS by a GMS modem

I created 6 commands (notify-by-email, host-notify-by-email,
notify-by-sms-internet, host-notify-by-sms-internet,
notify-by-sms-modem, host-notify-by-sms-modem). 

The problem is that not all services have to use all 3 notifications.
Some services have to use the e-mail notification and never use the SMS
notification, other services have to use the e-mail notification for all
error states and the SMS notification only for critical errors and other
services have always to use the e-mail and SMS notifications for all
errors. 

How to make this quite strange configuraton?

Thank you very much for your help!
Bye.
