I have everything configured and working with nagios except the
notifications. How can I fully test this?
Mail is found in the path and I can send emails manually from the machine to
the outside.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] whereis mail
mail: /bin/mail
This is the contact.cfg
define contact{
contact_name admin
alias Nagios Admin
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,n
host_notification_options d,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
This is the definition for emails:
define command{
command_name notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
2.9*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional
Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert -
$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
define service{
name generic-service ; Generic service
name
active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service
checks are enabled
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service
checks are enabled/accepted
parallelize_check 1 ; Active service
checks should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance
problems)
obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess
over this service (if necessary)
check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT
check service 'freshness'
notifications_enabled 1 ; Service
notifications are enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event
handler is enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is
enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process

retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status
information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
This is the first part of my services.cfg:
# Generic for all services
define service{
use generic-service
name basic-service
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 15
normal_check_interval 10
retry_check_interval 2
notification_interval 120
notification_period 24x7
register 0
}
define service{
use basic-service
name ping-service
notification_options n
check_command check_ping!1000.0,20%!2000.0,60%
register 0
}
define service{
use ping-service
service_description PING
contact_groups admins
hostgroup_name myservers
}
Any inputs?
