Hi Richard,
Opsview/Nagios command to send email is in the misccommands.cfg file in
your nagios/configs directory.
# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name host-notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$:
$HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAlias:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nComment:
$HOSTACKCOMMENT$ ($HOSTACKAUTHOR$)\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\nInfo:
$HOSTOUTPUT$\n" | /usr/bin/Mail -s "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $HOSTNAME$ is
$HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
# 'service-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name service-notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$:
$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ on host $HOSTNAME$:
$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAlias:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nComment:
$SERVICEACKCOMMENT$ ($SERVICEACKAUTHOR$)\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/Mail
-s "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ on $HOSTNAME$"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
}
Due to this using the Mail command, there is no way that I have found to
change the domain besides renaming the hostname server it self.
As opsview runs as the nagios user, when it generates an email it sends
it out as the nagios user. To change the user it is sending out as you
will need to do 1 of 2 things, either add a monitoring user and tell
opsview/nagios to run as that user or in the above configuration
sections add "-u monitoring" and this should send the email out as that
user.
But remember that the next time you update nagios via the opsview
interface, this configuration file will be updated so you will need to
make this change to the opsview template file too.
Hope this helps.

Hi All,
I'm not sure if this was already asked but I couldn't find it that quick.
Is it possible to change the sender email address of opsview/nagios?
At this moment it sends like "nag...@hostnameoftheserver" and I want
it to be "[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>"
I couldn't find it in the system nor in the documentation.
I found in the nagios documentation an admin_email rule but the
configuration is overwritten by opsview on reload.
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards,
Richard Pijnenburg
