The host one (above) seems OK, but in the service one (top of email) seems to be missing the service name macro: you will know that something is WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN about a service of your host but it won't tell you which service it is... which is usually kind of useful. :) > > doubt 3) if I added the 2 define command sections in commands.cfg > as in the website , can I get an sms alert ?anything else I have to > add in localhost.cfg ? (where I have services to check > ssh,ping,http in the localhost . ) Don't forget to use the commands above in your contact definitions for host and service alerts. If you wish to receive emails as well, you will need the contacts twice (one for email and one for alerts). You can also play with the notification options; for instance I receive all WARNING/CRITICAL/OK/DOWN/UP alerts on email, but only CRITICAL/DOWN on pager, so I don't wake up in the middle of the night for something that doesn't require immediate attention. - -- Thomas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJXu4Q6dZ+Kt5BchYRAp7ZAJ4lIN87ZAKVOdt9dtfXOJfci8PiMwCdG4bQ CxyBSh4GG2Dx0F0U4hHUGRY= =Qu2J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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
