Does anyone else have problems with email notifications generated by the
check_command param generated by host failures, particularly the
check-host-alive command ?
I have the check_command for each host set to check-host-alive. If any
of the hosts goes offline, and fails the check-host-alive check, I get
this email;
Subject: ** PROBLEM alert - My laptop/ is **
***** Nagios *****
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Service:
Host: My laptop
Address: 192.168.100.241
State:
Date/Time: Fri May 26 22:38:07 BST 2006
Additional Info:
The 'notify-by-email' command that I am using to send out the email
notifications is as follows.
look at the sample host-notify-by-email or whatever it's called. Should
be in the sample config Nagios created during the make cycles.
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "subject: **
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$
** \n\n ***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/msmtp
$CONTACTEMAIL$
}
Now, this is the same command I use for every other alert, but only the
check-host-alive check causes an email with NO source, NO state etc.
Is it just me that gets this? Does the check-host-alive command not fill
in the $servicedesc$ or the $servicestate$ ?
As you noted, servicestate is not the right thing to report in a host
check result. There is a list of all available macros in the manual, and
you'll find the corresponding $HOST...$ ones in there.
The more important question is - why are notifications generated at all?
You'd have to show us the configuration for one of the hosts in
question. Also make sure the check command works as you intend it to.
If, for example, you've got a macro in there that doesn't contain
anything useful that might easily explain why the check command fails.
