I looked and the title of the command is correct in my contact definition.

Recently I decided to upgrade to version 3 but when I did Nagios stopped sending out notifications. I figured that I had some bugs in my configuration so I rebuilt the whole thing one object at a time using the Nagios 3 documentation. When I had completed that Nagios still did not send out down notices and I don't know what to do other than revert back to version 2. When I go to the Host detail page for a server it says that notifications are enabled. I know my email command works because I can send custom notifications just fine. The system correctly displays a server going down and then up (nagios.log records this as well) but no notifications are sent. I have doublechecked both my contact and host objects and I can't find anything wrong. Notifications are enabled in nagios.cfg. Is there anywhere else I should be looking? Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Here is my contact object:<o:p></o:p> <code>define contact{ </code> <code> contact_name office </code> <code> alias office </code> <code> host_notifications_enabled 1 </code> <code> service_notifications_enabled 1 </code> <code> host_notification_period 24x7 </code> <code> service_notification_period 24x7 </code> <code> host_notification_options d,u,r </code> <code> service_notification_options u,c,r </code> <code> host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email </code> <code> service_notification_commands notify-by-email </code> <code> email myemail@mycompany.com </code> <code> }</code><code> </code><o:p></o:p> And here is the host object (slightly edited):<o:p></o:p> <code>define host{ </code> <code> host_name server </code> <code> alias Server </code> <code> address 123.123.123.123 </code> <code> parents parent_host </code> <code> check_command check-host-alive </code> <code> max_check_attempts 10 </code> <code> check_period 24x7 </code> <code> notification_interval 10 </code> <code> notification_period 24x7 </code> <code> notification_options d,u,r </code> <code> contact_groups office_group </code> <code> icon_image tux.png </code> <code> icon_image_alt Linux </code> <code> vrml_image tux.png </code> <code> statusmap_image tux.gd2 </code> <code> }</code><code> </code><o:p></o:p> Naturally the contact I provided is in the 'office_group' contact_group. Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> --Justin Brown<o:p></o:p> eSolutions<o:p></o:p> justin@esolutions.net<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> __________ NOD32 3128 (20080523) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. <a href="http://www.eset.com">http://www.eset.com</a><o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
