Hi all,

hello
You want to take a look at the external commands :
http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=135
I have upgraded from nagios2 to nagios3 and now when I execute the shell
script that fires the external command it runs fine. The problem is that
nagios doesn't fire a mail. I have done the following. I have created a
shell script that it should be executed via a cron task and everytime it
should send an email fired by the service.
--
#!/bin/sh
# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the
SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION command
# to Nagios. Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.
now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/var/lib/nagios3/rw/nagios.cmd'
/usr/bin/printf [%lu]
SEND_CUSTOM_SVC_NOTIFICATION;192.168.10.26;MAILPARSER_TEST;2;test;Testing
if everything is OK\n $now $commandfile
--
And I have defined the following service
--
define service {
service_description MAILPARSER_TEST
check_command return-critical
normal_check_interval 2
use generic-service
notification_interval 0
}
--
And never sends a mail as it normally does with all the other services I
have. Any idea?
Cheers!!

Hi all,
Since few weeks ago we use Nagios as monitoring system and everytime
there is a problem it notifies sending an email. We have a system that
parses those emails and using a text to speech system it makes a phone
call. To be sure that the alarm system is running we have periodic calls
launched by emails programmed as cron tasks. I'm worried that some of
the Nagios notifications could be lost or even it wouldn't sent any
notification, so I'd like to launch to substitute those cron emails by
Nagios fake notifications or something similar.
Do you know if there is a way to force Nagios to send a notification
periodically?
Thank you very much

Do you know if there is a way to force Nagios to send a notification periodically? Another way to do it would be to schedule it as a check with a 5 minute timeperiod , a 10 minute check_interval, and obsession. This would cause it to run once a day and alert on everytime, not just when the status changes. -- Sean McAfee System Engineer -- Crystal Reports #45; New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty#45;free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ 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
