Re: [Nagios-users] FW: Not sending e-mails
Try simply copying the command_line for notify-service-by-email and running
it in a shell yourself. Or just do:
# echo Hello world | /bin/mail -s Test Email r...@localhost

What's in your mail log? Nagios is trying to send notifications using
the command you've defined, according to the logs. You haven't provided
the definition for that command (notify-service-by-email), but I assume
it's trying to send an email.
If you're using anything like the example commands that come with
Nagios, it is probably using something like /bin/mail to send the
message, and your mail log would be a good place to look for why it's
not being delivered.
Sorry - didn't include that from the commands.cfg - Here's what I have.
commands.cfg
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-host-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n | /bin/mail -s ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert:
$HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ ** $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-service-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf %b * Nagios
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService:

Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | /bin/mail -s ** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service
Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ ** $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
This is the exact same way I have it on another machine running checks for
multiple boxes and devices. The only difference, is this server is running
Postfix, the other (working) is running Sendmail.
In my logs:
/var/log/maillog - grep for nagios - there's nothing
/var/log/messages shows
Oct 1 10:53:20 mail4 nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION:

Looks like it's trying - maybe something in Postfix stoping it? I'll have

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] FW: Not sending e-mails
Looks like your postfix installation isn't really complete since /bin/mail
still thinks it's supposed to send using sendmail. On a complete postfix
setup you should have a command sendmail - Postfix to Sendmail
compatibility interface which I believe /bin/mail will use. So the issue
here isn't really Nagios-specific, since you're unable to send mail with
/bin/mail outside of Nagios as well. If you fix the email setup, Nagios
notifications will be delivered just fine, and Postfix setup is too off
topic for this list :-) Good luck!

restarted - got a notification within about 5 min.
