Good afternoon,<br><div class="gmail_quote">
<br>
I am completely new to Nagios so please excuse me if this is a really silly question:<br>
<br>
I am currently testing before i start to add in real hosts.<br>
<br>
I am testing notifications at the moment and i have created a file for
SWITCHES that i have put in a test switch that does not exist so always
will be down and should trigger notification.<br>
<br>
I recieve Host Alert Emails in the output of <br>
<br>
Subject: ** PROBLEM Host Alert: Test Switch is DOWN **<br>
<br>
<p>***** Nagios *****</p>
<p> Notification Type: PROBLEM
</p>
<p> Info: CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (192.168.1.208)
</p>
<p>Host: Test Switch
</p>
<p>Address: 192.168.1.208</p>
<p>State: DOWN</p>
<p>Date/Time: Wed Nov 30 16:47:07 GMT 2011 </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>But i never recieve a Service Alert email.</p>
<p>I have tried disabling nofitications in the host
template and only enabling notifications in the service template but
then i recieve nothing at all.</p>
<p>Here the whole of my switch.cfg that i am using
for testing, Nagios likes it and reports Down and Critical statuses on
it so it works but just doesnt send out service alert notifications.<br>
</p>
