event handler not working

[Kevin Manuel]

I should add that I am trying to invoke the event handler through passive
service checks supplied by an external command (the external commands and
passive service checks work fine, but I'm wondering if something needs to be
configured differently for Nagios to call the event handler)

Hi,

Nagios.cfg contains the following but there is no log of the event handler
being called:

log_event_handlers=1

enable_event_handlers=1

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance,

Kevin

Nagios should log if it does. You also need to enable event handlers  
in nagios.cfg --

$ grep enable_event_handlers etc/nagios.cfg
enable_event_handlers=1

Hi,

I'm trying to get an event handler to work with no success so I'm hoping
somebody might have some suggestions. It appears as though Nagios is not
calling the event handler at all when a service check is performed. I don't
think it's a permissions thing because the event handler works properly when
run by the nagios user at the command line:

i.e. [root at flames bin]# su - nagios -c
"/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/renotify-on-ok" 

I have removed all the arguments that are passed to the event handler to
simplify troubleshooting and at this point the event handler should simply
send an email message when the service check is performed. Code shown below.
Thanks in advance.


renotify-on-ok (only 3 lines):
==============================

#!/usr/bin/perl

$contactEmail = "kmanuel\@unb.ca";

`/bin/echo -e ' event handler works! ' | /bin/mail -s '** event handler
works **' $contactEmail`;



misccommands.cfg:
=====================

define command{
	command_name	renotify-on-ok
	command_line	$USER1$/eventhandlers/renotify-on-ok
	}



In templates.cfg the service is defined as follows:
===================================================

define service{
	use                             generic-service         ; Name of
service template to use
    	name        			  snmp-trap-alerting-service
	service_description             SNMP Trap Alert 
	is_volatile                     1
	check_period                    24x7
	active_checks_enabled           0
	normal_check_interval		  14400
	retry_check_interval 		  14400
	max_check_attempts              1
	notification_interval           0
	notification_period             24x7
	notification_options            w,u,c,r
	check_command                   check_none
	stalking_options		    	  o,w,u,c
	event_handler			  renotify-on-ok
	event_handler_enabled 	        1
      register                        0      
	}
