<div>I was able to solve this simle query </div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>There are cases when you want to send email notification to specific email ID for specific host. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>there is a configuration file called as contacts.<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cfg</span> , here we need to add the following : </div>
<div> </div>
<div>define contact{<br> contact_name <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cocubes</span><br> use generic-contact-1<br> alias <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cocubes</span><br>
email user_name<a href="mailto:user_name@gmail.com">@gmail.com</a><br> }<br></div>
<div>contact_name is a general name you give to this contact. </div>
<div>use --- this the set template mentioned in template.<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cfg</span> </div>
<div>alias is a general user name </div>
<div>email is the email id </div>
<div> </div>
<div>NOTE: open the templeate.cfg</div>
<div> </div>
<div>we create a new template called generic-contact-1 , which has the following template</div>
<div> </div>
<div>define contact{<br> name generic-contact-1 ; The name of this contact template<br> host_notification_period 24x7 ; host notifications can be sent anytime<br> host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s ; send notifications for all host states, flapping events, and scheduled downtime events<br>
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email ; send service notifications via email<br> host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email ; send host notifications via email<br> register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL CONTACT, JUST A TEMPLATE!<br>
}<br><br>This template basically tell nagios to only send notification if the server is down and not to send service warning. </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">tha</span>t we have set the email address we have to set the host that we want to monitor</div>
<div>lets open the file windows.<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cfg</span> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>we add <em>contacts</em> variable to the host object </div>
<div> </div>
<div>vi /<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">usr</span>/local/<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">nagios</span>/etc/objects/windows.<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cfg</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>define host{<br> use windows-server <br> host_name <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cocubes</span><br> alias <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cocubes</span>.<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">qualispace</span>.com<br>
<strong><em>contacts <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">cocubes</span><br></em></strong> address 202.XX.XXX.XX<br> }<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>now restart <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="BACKGROUND: yellow">nagios</span> </div>
<div> </div>
