Unable to get notifications running for SNMP check.

[Giles Coochey]

Firstly, the tests you show as examples appear to be working just fine
(though note it appears you are running them as root, so you won't know
what happens when they're run as the Nagios user).

 

Secondly, you should check what the notification options are for your
contacts and the service.

 

Check the service_notification_commands, service_notification_options,
service_notitification_period for the contact, as well as the following
for your service: notifications_enabled, notification_options,
notification_period also check the contacts for the host that is
assigned to the service.

 

You may need to dig a little further if you are using templates, but you
can override these by supplying them with the appropriate contact,
service & host.

 

Further information can be found in the documentation.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Giles

Subject: [Nagios-users] Unable to get notifications running for SNMP
check.

 

I have pulled all my hair out in my quest to get notifications working
for an SNMP check I am running. All my other host and service checks
work fine and I can generate notifications but  with the SNMP check
nothing happens. In the web interface The values change as expected OK
to critical for example. The only thing I can think of is that the value
returned is not generating a notification. Any help would be
appreciated.
