Nagios not sending email notifications
Greetings,
I'm using Nagios to monitor a localhost running CentOS. I have enabled the following features in my config files in an attempt to allow email notifications: 1. Notifications enabled in main nagios.cfg file, as evidenced: # NOTIFICATIONS OPTION # This determines whether or not Nagios will sent out any host or # service notifications when it is initially (re)started. # Values: 1 = enable notifications, 0 = disable notifications enable_notifications=1 2. flap-detection-enabled set to 0 in generic_host template and generic_service template (no further overrides of this setting in objects inheriting from these templates) 3. Notification_period on template 'linux_server' (default template for localhost object) set to 24x7 4. notifications_enabled set to 1 in all previously mentioned templates and within the specific service "MyDocs Age Check 7", as evidenced: define service{ use local-service host_name localhost service_description MyDocs Age Check7 check_command check_file_ages_in_directory!"/home/nagios/Documents /home/nagios/Downloads" notifications_enabled 1 contacts dburt } 5. Further, I have received confirmation from the Nagios CGI that notifications were triggered for my alert: Service Notifications Last Updated: Fri Feb 7 12:10:34 CST 2014 Nagios® Core™ 4.0.2 - www.nagios.org Logged in as nagiosadmin View History For This Service View Trends For This Service Service 'MyDocs Age Check7' On Host 'localhost' Latest Archive Latest Archive Log File Navigation Fri Feb 7 00:00:00 CST 2014 to Present..

Is this a problem with Nagios?? (which appears to believe it sent an email) or can I safely assume Nagios has done its job, and this is a problem somewhere else? (firewalls, mail servers, etc.) btw - it's not a spam filter on my email account, I'm using Gmail's "All Mail" folder. Thanks! Dan |

Please, please please use [code][/code] tags. See Option A in my signature. And Welcome to LQ! |
Yep, not related to Nagios
I would need to install postfix to relay email messages off my local server. So yes, problem was external, not related to Nagios.
Thank you, and I will be sure to include tags in my next posting. Cheers |
