[Nagios-users] not receiving the nagios notifications
Hi All
I have a nagios 2.4 here, I already insert some hosts to it monitor.
But when a host goes down, the nagios system do not send me the
notifications by email.
I think all my confs files are just ok. I don´t have a clue for what
is happening.
Here is the way I configured it:
The hosts.cfg file:
define host{
host_name teste.xxx..br
alias Test Machine
address 200.xxx.xx.xx
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 2
checks_enabled 1
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_interval 1
process_perf_data 0
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
notification_interval 15
contact_groups suporte-local
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsd,u,r
notifications_enabled 1
stalking_optionso,d,u
}
Ok, notifications_enabled 1
So the contat group that it had to send the emails:
cat contactgroups.cfg
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name suporte-local
alias suporte
members felipe
}
In this case, just me, Felipe, so I put my email in the contacts.cfg file
define contact{
contact_namefelipe
alias Felipe Tocchetto
host_notification_period24x7
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_options d,u,r,n
service_notification_optionsw,u,c,r,n
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
The host-notify-by-email e notify-by-email commands, in miscconmands.cfg:
# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namehost-notify-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\

$HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ ** $CONTACTE

}
When I type mannualy the commands, a receive the email from the nagios
Machine...
Does any body know what is happening?

So, they are all green. How do you know which one has a problem like Running out of disk space or exchange process has just stopped? If you can propagate, when the exchange process stopped, it goes to critical status.. this child service will propagrate to the parent node... and the network admin will see.. Oh.. something is wrong with node xyz. because it's RED.. so let me drill down that node to see what's going on? Best regards, Tom Tran, PS: The statements above is CONSTRUCTIVE suggestion.

Host checks are a check that verifies the host is up. It's generally defined as a ping check. Service checks check services like disk, cpu, swap, etc. are running on the host. By default, Nagios checks a service and if it is in alarm, it runs the host check. If the host check fails, Nagios sends host notification and doesn't send service notification. If the host is up, it sends the service notification. Nagios, only runs the host checks if the service fails. So if the disk is bad, it's set critical, but the host check ping still works so the host is not set down. This is intentional because if the disk fails, and the host check fails, disk notifications are suppressed as well as the other services being checked, and you get one alarm that the host is down and not one alarm each for each service. Feature Nagios doesn't have propagation like Unicenter. It has a host check so it can suppress alarm storms. Hope this helps.

[Nagios-users] Need documention for hosts configuration
hi,
i'm glad to getting nagios 2.5 working with nrpe too. Now i'am writing a
howto on a german wiki.
My problem is, that the documention from nagios (html 2.x on the
website) is poorly written, meaning it has a bad structure and i need
much time to find, what i searching for.
So, to let me and my readers understand, what for options are possible
in the hosts config, like in the minimal.cfg i want to write it down,
on examples. Most things are selfexplained but, some not. Can somebody
write a few lines, about the following lines, or show me the right part
from the offi. docu. on the nagios website?
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 120
notification_optionsd,r
is_volatile 0
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval1
contact_groups admins
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
notification_interval 960
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
on these last line, i don't know, where i have o set a ! for example
from the dns_check:
./check_dns -H heise.de -s 192.168.1.1
DNS OK: 0.018 seconds response time. heise.de returns
193.99.144.80|time=0.017630s;;;0.00
so looks the line from the bash, but i wrote something as command and
expecting, that it is wrong:
define command{
command_name check-resolv-dns
command_line$USER1$/check_dns -H www.heise.de -s $HOSTADDRESS$
}
define service{
use generic-service ; Name

If you can propagate, when the exchange process stopped, it goes to critical status.. this child service will propagrate to the parent node... and the network admin will see.. Oh.. something is wrong with node xyz. because it's RED.. so let me drill down that node to see what's going on? Just suppose you want to keep an eye out for trouble.

Re: [Nagios-users] not receiving the nagios notifications
On Fri, 21 Jul 2006, Felipe Tocchetto wrote: I have a nagios 2.4 here, I already insert some hosts to it monitor. But when a host goes down, the nagios system do not send me the notifications by email. And just what DO you see happening in the ligs? Keep in mind that nagios is not intended as host monitor but service monitor. If you want a check on host make it a pseudo service on the host. Like the PING example you have seen. More details can be found in the many posts in the archives on this list regarding this matter. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates. Just reply to the relevant mailinglist.
