Nagios/Sendmail issue

[James Pratt]

Hi, unfortunately that is not enough info for anyone here to work from -
Try viewing *all* the "received by" headers of the final email, and
discern where the time lag is occurring. It sounds like a sendmail queue
issue (or whatever MTA's you are using), then fix the offending mail
server/relay causing the delay(s).

Cheers,
James

Hi Frnds,


I have a setup in which nagios 3.2.3 is monitoring a number of servers
and network devices like cisco switches and routers. The issue is that i
am getting the email notifications very late for any problem. Is it the
nagios problem or my sendmail server both running on the same linux
server FC 14. Also i have setup my sendmail server to relay to other
corporate mail server which actually sends mail notifications. I am not
able to find the root cause of this issue. The issue can be one of the
following Nagios problem, My Sendmail problem, Corporate email server
problem. what do u say :)

For your reference a delayed notification is pasted here:-

FW: ** Network Host PROBLEM Alert: Cisco-CH_12_JPH_R5_ASC_01 is DOWN **
NOC-AS-CHK at mahindra.com [NOC-AS-CHK at mahindra.com]
