[Nagiosplug-help] Host monitoring

[Grant Lowe]

Hi Andy,

I got this solved.  Finally.  Thanks for your time and effort.  Now I understand a little bit more about Nagios.  It looks like the notify-host-by-email change to notify-service-by-email did the trick.

Good catch!  I'm guessing that "notify-host-by-email" should actually be 
"notify-service-by-email" - e.g. a host problem notification is being 
sent out for a service alert, which is why it's confusing because the 
host is actually up, it's a failing service.

Grant, look at your contact/contact group settings for the service 
notification command - it should be notify-service-by-email.

Regards,

Andy
