Good morning, or whatever as the case may be... I have a Nagios 3.2.1install which is showing a problem I'm unsure how to troubleshoot further. It's either something simple I'm missing, or a deeper, more difficult problem. Or a transient to be perhaps put on a shelf until it happens again.
First, the questions: - Is the notifications log absolute? - Meaning, if a notification is shown in this log, it has passed all filters (notification options etc) and Nagios believes it was submitted to the MTA. - Is there anywhere besides the MTA's log,status.dat and nagios.log to look for clues to mail problems? ============== Details - Running on FreeBSD 7.0, using stock sendmail on localhost. - In general, everything is working fine. 125 hosts, 1600 ish services. This system has been up and stable for a few months. Host and service notifications of all kinds go out properly all the time. Last night, I had a host go down. Notification got to my cell phone and the other contacts it's configured to just fine. This morning, I dealt with the problem host and Nagios showed it back up. But no Host up notification to any of the configured contacts. The Notifications log shows the host up notifications as having been sent. There's nothing in /var/log/maillog for the time Nagios says the notifications were sent. In status.dat, the record for my cell contact has a "last_host_notification" line with the epoch time version of the exact second the notification was in theory sent. Host and template records included at the bottom of this email. I've included one contact def, but there were 4 contacts, using 2 different scripts that should have received the notification. As far as I can see, there is nothing in the host configuration or related templates that would keep a host up notification from being sent. We use custom host-notify scripts which log actions, and again, no entries for the specific problem, but lots of other notifications before and after. These scripts could be the problem, but I want to rule out other issues first. Thank you for your time, Tim Palmer =============== Host config: define host{ host_name host.foo.bar.tld use dslam alias Anytown DSLAM address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx parents another.foo.bar.tld } define host{ name dslam use generic-host check_period 24x7 check_interval 5 retry_interval 1 max_check_attempts 10 check_command check_dslam_uptime_snmp notification_period 24x7 notification_interval 0 notification_options d,u,r contact_groups contact1, contact2 register 0 } define host{ name generic-host notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 failure_prediction_enabled 1 process_perf_data 0 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 notification_period 24x7 register 0 } Contact: define contact{ contact_name me_text use text-contact alias me_text email npanxx_lf...@txt.smx.gateway } define contact{ name text-contact use generic-contact service_notification_options c,r,w service_notification_commands notify-by-textmessage-service host_notification_commands notify-by-textmessage-host register 0 } define contact{ name generic-contact service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_options c,r host_notification_options d,r service_notification_commands notify-by-email-service host_notification_commands notify-by-email-host register 0 } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
