Re: [Nagios-users] Sending mails - first post
OK, i have put in /etc/aliases:
/root: cosmin.ne...@omnilogic.ro, \root/
The email account in Thunderbird has outgoing smtp server:
mail2.omnilogic.ro:25
Also Lyle Giese gave me some more tips on how to configure
/etc/postfix/main. This is how postfix are configured now:
/etc/postfix/main.cfg:
//everything else is left unchanged.
/myhostname = mail2.omnilogic.ro
//mydomain = omnilogic.ro/
/myorigin = $mydomain/
/mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_security_options =
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport/
/relayhost =/
/etc/postfix/transport
/omnilogic.ro :
.omnilogic.ro :
*smtp:[mail2.omnilogic.ro]:25/
/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd:
/webmail.omnilogic.rocosmin.ne...@omnilogic.ro:***//
/
I have attached the 2 configs that i thing is relevant to Nagios
host/service configurations.
And regarding your last advice, i have no clue on how to configure my
email client to check the email account on the nagios machine...don't i
need a mail server on nagios machine for that?
So...can anyone tell me what is missing, or point me to some
step-by-step documentation?
***
Just before pressing SEND, Lyle gave me some more hints, and now it
working, i can receive mails.
These line needed to be added in /etc/postfix/transport:
mail2.omnilogic.ro :
.mail2.omnilogic.ro :
* smtp:[mail2.omnilogic.ro]:25
Thank allot Lyle

Thanks.
Looks like it is sending mail, and that mail is being delivered
locally. When you configured Nagios to send e-mail, what e-mail
address did you tell it to send to?
Also, look for a file called /etc/aliases. Open it, and see if there
is a line like:
root: cosmin
The name on the left may match the e-mail address you gave nagios, and
the aliases file is re-directing that mail to the local user cosmin.
Replace cosmin with an e-mail address on a different domain. Or
modify Nagios to send to a an e-mail address on a domain different
than the local machine. Or configure the e-mail client on your
computer to check the e-mail account on your Nagios machine.

It sounds like you're not using a fully-qualifed email address for your
contact{} (addr...@domain.com) or else the local SMTP server running on your
nagios box believes that it is responsible for the @domain.com you're sending
to.

Now what you really want is for the OS to push them somewhere else. I use SuSE Linux here and it uses Postfix for email and I know how to forward email and setup Postfix when forwarding to another server to use smtp auth. If you need a bit of advice on Postfix, let me know. Lyle Giese LCR Computer Services, Inc. -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Hello everybody, First time here, so if it is a stupid questions, sorry for that. I have just installed nagios 3.2.0 an have some host and services monitoring. Is installed on SuSE 10.2. The only thing that i don't know hot to do, is making nagios to send emails. Never configured stuff relating to emails before. From what i see from commands.cfg, by default it tries to send email with: /usr/bin/mail -s. But the email ends up in a local folder /var/mail/cosmin.
