On the Nagios web interface, click on Tactical Overview.
At the end of the page (Monitoring Features) check that Notifications
are green/enabled.
It would make sense as you don't have SELinux and all commands seem to

I think it's a bug within Nagios
I doubt that its a bug in Nagios, as Nagios just uses your system's
commands to send notifications.
What is your notification config? can you run the commands the
notification uses as the Nagios user?
Is there some security such as SE Linux running?
You could try adding logging to the Notification command eg add a ">>
/var/tmp/Notification.log"
or instead of the Notification command being a direct command, make a

What is your notification config? can you run the commands the notification uses as the Nagios user? Is there some security such as SE Linux running? You could try adding logging to the Notification command eg add a ">> /var/tmp/Notification.log" or instead of the Notification command being a direct command, make a script for it instead.

Yes, most likely your Ubuntu Server is using it's own MAILX to send emails, so my guess is that the mail routing is not hard-coded into any configuration within Ubuntu, probably you have a relay issue in your EX10 where your Nagios server massages are not allowed to relay, you may want to check on that. On the specific notification by email command that Nagios actually performs, you may want to verify if you have something like: command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ In such case, yes, your Nagios server is your MailX as well. If you'd like to use your EX10 to relay email directly, although I don't know how to configure that in EX10, you may want to change the command for something like: command_line/usr/bin/printf "%b" "* Nagios *\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" -S smtp=yourEX10.server.com $CONTACTEMAIL$ This way you'll use your EX10 to relay all the email generated by Nagios instead the local (to the Nagios box) MX, you can even turn off that service in your Ubuntu box, one less service to watch.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification Emails
Have you defined an internal mail connector on your EXCH2010 Hub server(s) for internal smtp servers that you want to allow to send out mail through your Exchange Server? Setup their IP Addresses in the lower portion of the Network Tab and select the appropriate permissions and groups on the Authentication and Permission Groups tabs? Since your Nagios was sending mail OK to your EXCH2003 system, I agree it is likely a 2010 issue, not a Nagios one. Martin T.
