Can anyone shed some light on the possible reasons that Nagios sends
notifications as I expect it to for a host down event but not for a service
check
event. When a service goes warning or critical the only group that seems to get
a notification is 'admins'.
Here's the relevant configuration elements as I have them. I'm hoping someone
can see what I cannot because I just don't 'get it'. It should work
based on all the documentation that I've read.
define host{
name zlinux-server
use generic-host
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 10
check_command check-host-alive
notification_period 24x7
notification_interval 120
notification_options d,u,r
contact_groups admins, operators, techsrv, zlinux
register 0
}
This uses the stock generic-host file:
define host{
name generic-host ; The name of this host
template
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications
are enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event handler is
enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is
enabled
failure_prediction_enabled 1 ; Failure prediction is
enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance
data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status
information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
notification_period 24x7 ; Send host
notifications at any time
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
The contact groups are defined correctly near as I can see:
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name zlinux
alias zlinux_admins
members sy4019, sy4558
}
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name admins
alias Nagios Administrators
members sy4080
}
and the contacts are define correctly as far as I can tell:
define contact{
contact_name sy4080
alias James [ Edited for this posting ]
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email jim[ Edited for this posting ]
}
define contact{
contact_name sy4558
alias David [ Edited for this posting ]
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,r
