Thank you for answer,
so the correct command should be:

define command{

       command_name    notify-by-email
       command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAdd$ | mail -s Notification
       }


And

define command{

       command_name    host-notify-by-email
       command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $$ | mail -s Notification
       }


That depends on your mail command. I suppose you need to set the receiver address, and possibly the sender, too.

?

Sorry for my questions but I'm new to nagios ..

That's something that will fix itself in a short time :-)

But, for good results, you do need a good understanding of the way Nagios works, as well as of the underlying operating system and your network...

Hello all,
i've the same problem, i've installed nagios 2.0 and all works good, but

the

email notifications can't be send..


The first step could be to modify your command_line to actually send a message. Usually, you use printf to create and format the output AND THEN pipe that output to your mail program.

Like 'printf "somethning" | mail -s Notification ...

my command is the default command:

define command{
       command_name    notify-by-email
       command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAdd$
       }
And:
define command{
       command_name    host-notify-by-email
       command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $$
       }

But I can't receive notifications mails.. Here are the nagios.log:

....
[1138352948] HOST ALERT: w2k3-server;DOWN;SOFT;9;CRITICAL - Host

Unreachable

(10.0.0.222)
[1138352951] HOST ALERT: w2k3-server;DOWN;HARD;10;CRITICAL - Host
Unreachable (10.0.0.222)
[1138352951] HOST NOTIFICATION:
nagios-admin;w2k3-server;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;CRITICAL - Host
Unreachable (10.0.0.222)
....

How can I resolve ?
Tnx all

I have set up nagios nagios-1.3-14.fc4 in my FC4 server, the only problem now is the email notification can't be send out.
The original notify-by-email in misccommands.cfg file is like below:
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****nnNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$nnService: $SERVIC EDESC$nHost: $HOSTALIAS$nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$nState: $SERVICESTATE$nnDate/Time: $DATETIME$nnAdditional Info:n n$OUTPUT$" | -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

I changed it to :
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-by-email
command_line /bin/mail "%b" "***** Nagios *****nnNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$nnService: $SERVIC EDESC$nHost: $HOSTALIAS$nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$nState: $SERVICESTATE$nnDate/Time: $DATETIME$nnAddi tional Info:n n$OUTPUT$" | -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

Basically I replaced /usr/bin/printf with /bin/mail.


And you don't have a valid command line left: after the pipe, there should be a program to read the output from mail. And your invocation of mail looks a little... non-standard to me.



In the /var/log/messages log I see the following error:


Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/bin/mail "%b" "***** Nagios *****nnNotification Type: RECOVERYnHost: Server-1nState: UPnAddress: 10.100.1.79nInfo: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.76 msnnDate/Time: Thu Jan 26 17:48:21 EST 2006n" | -s "Host UP alert for Server-OTM!" [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" resulted in a return code of 127. Make sure the scri//pt or binary you are trying to execute actually exists...


It's all there: the output from mail is piped to '-s' which, most probably, is not installed on your system as an executable program in the path.



Any kind help is highly appreciated!!



Why don't you try the original notification script and simply insert your mail command between pipe and '-s'? The reason why it's missing, by the way, is probably that configure couldn't identify your mailer.
