If you have entries for the notifications in the log your problem is not nagios. If you don't, then your config somewhere is preventing nagios from sending the email. You'll just have to pick through your cfg files to see where the problem is. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Blair. <o:p></o:p> Even though I will probably get a lot of flack from some I would like to attempt to get assistance with this issue that I am having. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I am having issues with the Nagios notifications being sent out.<o:p></o:p> 1) If I goto the command prompt and type out /bin/mail �s �subject� <A href="mailto:myname@mydomain.com">myname@mydomain.com</A> <.usr/loca/nagios/libexec/temp.txt I get the email no problem<o:p></o:p> 2) If I put the same command in misccommands.cfg within notify-by-email I and then disable a monitored service on purpose to put in the alert stage I get nothing.<o:p></o:p> 3) I also put the same command in the host-notify-by-email just in case.<o:p></o:p> 4) In Services.cfg I have notifications_enabled = 1 notification_options=w,u,c,r and contact groups pointing at admins which is defined in contactgroups.cfg then points to contacts.cfg. <o:p></o:p> 5) In hosts.cfg I have notifications enabled and also using the admins group to contact.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Again when I send an email from the command line it works but when I attempt to get a notification using the misccommands.cfg I get nothing..<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Any assistance would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Thank You;<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
