Re: [Nagios-users] notifications for downed services
Well, here's what I have in its entirety.
My services.cfg looks like this:
Generic services template
define service{
name generic-service;
active_checks_enabled 1;
obsess_over_service 1;
check_freshness 0;
notifications_enabled 1;
event_handler_enabled 1;
flap_detection_enabled 1;
retain_status_information 1;
retain_nonstatus_information 1;
register 0;
}
define service{
use generic-service
namebasic-service
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
max_check_attempts 15
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
notification_interval 20
notification_period 24x7
register0
}
define service{
use basic-service
name dns-service
check_command check_dns
max_check_attempts 10
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 20
notification_period 24x7
notification_options c,r
contact_groups localadmin
register 0
}
HOST01 ##
define service{
use dns-service
host_name host01
servicegroups mygroup
service_description DNS
contact_groups localadmin
}
So, to me, that looks correct. Host01's service check should inherit
everything through 'use dns-service' line.
checkcommands.cfg file for DNS:
# 'check_dns' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_dns
command_line$USER1$/check_dns -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
contactgroups.cfg:
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name localadmin
alias Site Administrator
members nagios
}
contacts.cfg:
define contact{
contact_name nagios
alias admin
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f
host_notification_options d,u,r,f
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
I believe the above should be correct since I have host and service to
be notified by email. Obviously I'm overlooking something. Marc, if you
meant something else by setting up the contact_group for services,
please let me know.
Thanks

You don't have any contact_groups defined for the services that I can
see. no contacts == no notifications. With nagios-2, they're not
automagically inherited from the hosts. I expect that nagios is
complaining with warnings though in nagios.log or when using -v.

[Nagios-users] notifications for downed services
Hello everyone,
I have just configured some service checks for services such as http, smtp,
etc.. The commands are defined in the commands.cfg file and then called in the
services.cfg file. The following is an example of how a commands.cfg and
services.cfg looks:
# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_http
command_line$USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}
Generic services template

}

}
define service{
use basic-service
name smtp-service
check_command check_smtp

Example service called for a specific host (same services.cfg file as where the
above services are declared in the beginning)
define service{
use dns-service
host_name serv01
servicegroups mygroup
service_description DNS
contact_groups localadmin,supportpro
}
The contacts are setup correctly since our check_ping which is declared in the
hosts.cfg file works perfectly fine and we do get the correct alerts.
Could someone point me in the right direction of what I'm doing wrong here? I
can't seem to get emails if a service is down. It's most likely in my syntax,
but I'm not sure where since I get no errors when reloading Nagios.
Thanks for your help.
