Hi again, Yes, there is another template named generic-contact but it's identical to the generic (excepting the name). But here's a good news: I have some notifications (finnaly, it seems that the notification works). And the bad news is that I get only emails like: " <pre id="line1">Return-Path: <nagios@localhost.localdomain> Received: from localhost.localdomain (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.localdomain (8.14.1/8.14.1) with ESMTP id n0CAArp4003801 for <nagios@localhost.localdomain>; Mon, 12 Jan 2009 12:10:53 +0200 Received: (from nagios@localhost) by localhost.localdomain (8.14.1/8.14.1/Submit) id n0CAArxq003799 for nagios@localhost; Mon, 12 Jan 2009 12:10:53 +0200 Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 12:10:53 +0200 From: nagios@localhost.localdomain Message-Id: <200901121010.n0CAArxq003799@localhost.localdomain> To: nagios@localhost.localdomain Subject: ** $ Host Alert: host1 is UP ** ***** Nagios ***** Notification: FLAPPINGSTOP Host: host1 State: UP Address: 172.30.129.67 Info: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 11.74 ms Date/Time: Sun Jan 11 15:10:11 EET 2009" Or for a service " Subject: ** FLAPPINGSTOP Service Alert: host1/is_alive is OK ** ***** Nagios ***** Notification Type: FLAPPINGSTOP Service: is_alive Host: host1 Address: 172.24.14.242 State: OK Date/Time: Mon Jan 12 12:10:53 EET 2009 Additional Info: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 131.99 ms</pre> " Is it the right behaviour (to put flapping instead up/down if the flapping is enabled) ? The thresholds for flapp are set at 25% and 50%. Anyhow, some notifications are sent and that's the main good news. I think from now only some small changes must be done in my configs to tune the uinstallation.

Do the host and service_notification_periods in that template include the time when the notification above was supposed to go out? The contact template you provided is named 'generic' not 'generic-contact' so there must be another template that needs to be looked at. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
