[Nagios-users] Nagios and email
Hello, I have a kind of custom nagios setup, so maybe this is a byproduct of that... I had to reboot my nagios server today, and it didn't come right back up. By the time it did, it realized that the service checks weren't fresh, and started sending out lots of notifications. I stopped sendmail to keep from flooding my inbox...so here's the question: I just want to clear out the outgoing email queue. mailq and sendmail -bp both show nothing queued up. When I restart sendmail, it starts sending again. Has nagios passed all the emails over to sendmail, and I just need to clear out sendmail's queue, or is nagios holding onto them while sendmail isn't running, and then once it sees sendmail running, it starts dumping email into the queue? Which is it, and how do I clear them from the queue?

You have checked your /var/spool/mqueue and /var/spool/clientmqueue right? I have had a few million emails queued up there before.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and email
It's probably Nagios. Does the blizzard of emails stop when you stop the Nagios service? How about stopping the Nagios server, turning off all notifications in the configuration files, and then restarting it?

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0.5 email notifications fail {Spam?}
Hi again.
I have bad news(for me,at least). I remove the flap announcements and
notifications are not working. Here's the debug log for nagios:

Yes, if the host or service were in a flapping state, which these
were. flapping is different than a normal up/down and that
notification type is provided should you want or need to make that
distinction. If you'd rather just receive up/down notifications,
disable notifications for flapping.
Anyhow, some notifications are sent and that's the main good news. I

Do you realy want to use service_notification_options n?

If you specify n (none) as an option, the contact will not receive any type of
service notifications.

Ok, my mistake. I can clearly see that I put all options in notification
template, including n from none so none of the notifications were sent.
Stupid me!

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0.5 email notifications fail {Spam?}
Hi again,
Yes, there is another template named generic-contact but it's identical to
the generic (excepting the name).
But here's a good news: I have some notifications (finnaly, it seems that
the notification works). And the bad news is that I get only emails like:
Return-Path: nag...@localhost.localdomain

Is it the right behaviour (to put flapping instead up/down if the flapping
is enabled) ? The thresholds for flapp are set at 25% and 50%.
Anyhow, some notifications are sent and that's the main good news. I think
from now only some small changes must be done in my configs to tune the
uinstallation.
Thank you again,

Now more than ever I don't understand why no contacts were notified!
It can mean that normal contacts doesn't exist?
From a previous e-mail --
define contact {
contact_namenagios
use generic-contact
alias nagios
email nag...@localhost
}
define contact {
namegeneric
host_notification_period24din2_7din7
service_notification_period 24din2_7din7
host_notification_options d,u,r,n,f
service_notification_optionsu,c,w,r,n,f
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email
register0
}
Your contact 'nagios' uses a template named 'generic-contact'. Do the
host and service_notification_periods in that template include the
time when the notification above was supposed to go out? The contact
template you provided is named 'generic' not 'generic-contact' so
there must be another template that needs to be looked at.

[Nagios-users] nagios 3.0.5 email notifications fail
Hi all,
I have nagios 3.0.5 installed and it seems that it is working ok but no
notifications are sent. Instead, in /home/nagios/dead.letter the messages
keep arriving. The problem seems to be due to mail headers :

This is a service alert.
Somehow it seems that no user address is found (or the address $ is
used ). Also, the mail log says the same thing:
define contact {

service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email

This is not the commnad{} used for service alerts (look for notify-

$CONTACTEMAIL$ there.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios 3.0.5 email notifications fail
ok, I get the service and not the host email from dead.letter. My mistake.
Here's the host one:
From nagios Fri Jan 9 16:12:31 2009
Return-Path: nagios
Received: (from nag...@localhost)
by localhost.localdomain (8.14.1/8.14.1/Submit) id n09ECVcx011087
for $; Fri, 9 Jan 2009 16:12:31 +0200
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 16:12:31 +0200
From: nagios
Message-Id: 200901091412.n09ecvcx011...@localhost.localdomain
To: $
Subject: ** $ Host Alert: host1 is DOWN **
* Nagios *
Notification:
I will try to see the error in command. I already use a modified command
define command {
command_namenotify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf %b Host:
$HOSTNAME$\n $CONTACTEMAIL$\n |cat /tmp/testfile
}
and I get in the log file just:
Host: host1
$
Host: host1
$
Host: host1
$
So I guess that nagios is not getting right the $CONTACTEMAIL$ macro
substitution.
I don't know exactly the inner works that means that if it's correct to
define a host and use a template for providing the contact group and from
the contact group nagios can extract the email addresses and put them in
$CONTACTEMAIL$
Also, the services are not notified also; the same happens (the email
sustituted from $CONTACTEMAIL$ seems to be $???).
Thank you,
Alex

Interesting...
So I guess that nagios is not getting right the $CONTACTEMAIL$
macro substitution.
I don't know exactly the inner works that means that if it's correct
to define a host and use a template for providing the contact group
and from the contact group nagios can extract the email addresses
and put them in $CONTACTEMAIL$
I expect this to work fine.
Also, the services are not notified also; the same happens (the
email sustituted from $CONTACTEMAIL$ seems to be $???).
I suspect that the more likely reason is that nagios is not replacing
$CONTACTEMAIL$ with it's proper value before passing it on to the
shell for some strange reason. The shell then interprets '$CONTACTEMAIL
$' as a null shell variable of '$CONTACTEMAIL' followed by a literal
'$' so you end up with the results your seeing (you could see this by
enabling debug mode). The question is why nagios isn't doing the
substitution properly. The most likely cause is that the macro is
mistyped but that really doesn't look like the case.
Actually, now that I'm reviewing your original posting. I'm exactly
sure that nagios isn't performing the subtitution at all. In your host
template (and probably service template), you specify the notification
commands as event_handlers. This is not a correct use of event
handlers as the $CONTACTEMAIL$ macro (and others) are not valid for
them. Disable event_handler_enabled and remove event_handler and you
should be fixed. The notifications will still go out through the
normal notification process.

Now more than ever I don't understand why no contacts were notified!
It can mean that normal contacts doesn't exist?
From a previous e-mail --
define contact {
contact_namenagios
use generic-contact
alias nagios
email nag...@localhost
}
define contact {
namegeneric
host_notification_period24din2_7din7
service_notification_period 24din2_7din7
host_notification_options d,u,r,n,f
service_notification_optionsu,c,w,r,n,f
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email
register0
}
Your contact 'nagios' uses a template named 'generic-contact'. Do the
host and service_notification_periods in that template include the
time when the notification above was supposed to go out? The contact
template you provided is named 'generic' not 'generic-contact' so
there must be another template that needs to be looked at.

Thanks!!!
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition

$CONTACTEMAIL$ comes from the email parameter of the contact{}
definitions. Anything unusual about any of those? Do they follow
standard e-mail address conventions?

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios generated email.
Sorry about top posting, but i'm using Notes and it sucks
Nagios just uses /bin/mailx which also relies on local
sendmail/qmail/whatever to be configured properly.. I built my own perl
emailer to connect directly to a configured mail server, use a configured
FROM address and send TO an address passed to it by Nagios. This script
also formats the alert output so it's reasonably easy to change to suit
your purposes..
I have just uploaded it to Nagios Exchange here:

Rob Moss / mossko Sorry to tell you this now but there is a much easier way, just install ssmtp and then make sure the line in ssmtp.conf which defines your mail server points to which ever mail server you want to use. Simple as that. You can then mailx all you like. If you have a decent distro like Gentoo this is the default, very simple. I use mailx and it works very simply, no fuss.
