There are various options in the host definition which determine whether Nagios will send a notification for a host. For example max_check_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, contact_groups, first_notification_delay, notification_period, notification_options and notifications_enabled. You can read all about them in the documentation at: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host It's possible too that you might have disabled notifications for the host. Check the host in the web front-end to make sure. In the host detail screen it should say (amongst other things) "Notifications: ENABLED". Also note that host and service notification options are specified separately in the contact definition. For example, the template I use for contacts looks like this: define contact{ name generic-contact service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_options w,c,r host_notification_options d,r service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email register 0 } The host notification command is usually different to the service notification command. Check your command definitions and make sure there isn't some problem with your host notification command. hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
