Logfile excerpts will help, though you can probably check yourself. Does the Nagios logfile say that a notification has been sent? Does your MTA logfile say that it has received the message? And what does it say that it has done with the message? What happens if you run the notification command that is actually defined for your notifications?

Re: [Nagios-users] notification by mail not working
Thanks for the config snippets. great that my configs are usefull to you :) While you included host and service templates, you didn't include any definitions that actually use those templates. Make sure that those definitions don't overwrite any of the template definitions related to notifications. Also note that your service template only specifies notifications for CRITICAL status. Do you have notifications enabled in nagios.cfg (enable_notifications=1)? Do you see notification attempts in nagios.log and in your postfix logs? When you tested your notification commands from the terminal as the nagios user, did you test them exactly as nagios would call them, including substituting appropriate values for the macros? Finally I have found the problem wasn´t nagios config. Everything there was ok. On definitions I dont overwrite anything about notification and I know I am just notificating critical events, I want it in that way. Also I have notifications enabled on nagios.cfg The problem was that smtp server I am using for relay has a special config. I had to add a line in the file /etc/postfix/sendercanonical for the user nagios and everything is working fine now. many thanks for your help. -- Pablo Escobar Lopez Head of Infrastructure IT Support Bioinformatics Department Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe (CIPF) Tfn: (34) 96 328 96 80 ext: 1004 http://bioinfo.cipf.es - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

[Nagios-users] notification by mail not working
hi all
I´m really desesperate because I dont know which other config file I should
look.
My mail server (postfix) is working because if I run
$ ps aux | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I get a mail.
I have this two files:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nagios]# cat contacts.cfg
define contact{
contact_name pablo
alias pablo
service_notification_period24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
#service_notification_options c
#host_notification_options d
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
*
*
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nagios]# cat contactgroups.cfg
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name sysadmins
alias sysadmins
members pablo
}
both included on nagios.cfg
[EMAIL PROTECTED] nagios]# cat /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg | grep contact
# groups, contacts, contact groups, services, etc. I guess it would
# separate from host and contact definitions...
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/etc/nagios/contacts.cfg
# host/contact/service configuration files. Setting this to 60 means
I have also verified that the host-notify-by-email and notify-by-email
commands that are defined on commands.cfg work if I run them on a terminal.
and I am using this service and host templates:
define host{
namegeneric-host-gen
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
register0
contact_groups sysadmins
check_command check-host-alive
normal_check_interval 3
max_check_attempts 3
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u
}
define service{
nameservicio-generico-gen
normal_check_interval 3
retry_check_interval5
max_check_attempts 3
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
check_period24x7
notification_optionsc
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 0
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
register0
contact_groups sysadmins
}
everything on the web interface seems to work and I havent found any error
related to mail on logs but I can´t get mail notifications when a service or
host fails.
¿¿any clue about what I´m doing wrong??
many thanks in advance for any help and sorry for a so long mail :)
