Hello Marc,
yes, I have restarted the nagios a no. of times but no success.
Regarding the host defination I have already posted it in my previous post.
There is a noticeable line like
contact_groups admins,others; Notifications get sent to the admins by
default
^
is there anything which prevents my non admin group ?

This is a restriction. Did it meet your test criteria?

This is a template, not a usable definition. Does the host{}
definition that uses this template override the contact_groups
parameter?
Other than those, does nagios.log show notifications to the contact?
Nagios was restarted after making these changes?

[Nagios-users] How to send notification to non-admin group ?
Dear all,
Coming back to the list after a long time. Hope you all are well.
I monitor a few remote servers with nagios ( 2.12 ). I have
individual cfg file for every remote servers under nagios monitoring. I
need to add another email notification for a particular server say
serverA. Hence in serverA.cfg I have added the following
define contact{
contact_name nagios-others
alias Nagios Others
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period24x7
service_notification_optionsw,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email x...@example.com #
}
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name others
alias Nagios AdminOthers
members nagios-others
}
define host{
name serverA ; The name of this host template
usegeneric-host ; This template inherits other values
from the generic-host template
check_period 24x7 ; By default, Linux hosts are checked
round the clock
max_check_attempts 30; Check each Linux host 30 times (max)
check_command check-host-alive ; Default command to
check Linux hosts
notification_period workhours ; Linux admins hate to be woken
up, so we only notify during the day
; Note that the notification_period variable is
being overridden from
; the value that is inherited from the generic-host
template!
notification_interval 130 ; Resend notification every 2 hours
notification_optionsd,u,r; Only send notifications for
specific host states
contact_groups admins,others ; Notifications get sent to
the admins by default
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL
HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
`
After starting nagios I have checked that emails come to me as a member
of admins group but no to the another email address ( member of others
group )
I have checked it several times; " even nagios -v nagios.cfg "
reports no problem but still the another email-id is not getting any mail.
Kindly enlighten me what is wrong here.
Thanks
