Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Your contacts.cfg and/or contactgroups.cfg probably specifies notify-by* commands to use.

The commands should be defined in something like commands.cfg or misccommands.cfg. You can see examples in templates.cfg.

Your nagios.cfg needs to define whichever config files you are using.

Thanks for the reply!

I have tried to install NAGIOS again & its ok now.

I am trying to activate email alert from NAGIOS & unfortunately failed to do so each time. I have followed so many blogs & tried. Could you please share a trustworthy site for this? So, that i can follow & have support from you.

Expecting your prompt reply as usual..

Have a nice day!

Examples from my misccommands.cfg:

Code:

# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Enterprise Monitoring Assistant\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n\n$NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$\n\n$NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$" | /bin/mailx -s "`echo $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ | sed -e 's/RECOVERY/RCVR: /' -e 's/PROBLEM/ALRT: /'` $HOSTALIAS$ $SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

Code:

# 'notify-by-epager' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-epager
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Enterprise Monitoring Assistant\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mailx -s "`echo $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ | sed -e 's/RECOVERY/RCVR: /' -e 's/PROBLEM/ALRT: /'` $HOSTALIAS$ $SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$" $CONTACTPAGER$
        }

Code:

# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition - New definition Feb 2010
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Notification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\n$NOTIFICATIONCOMMENT$\n\n$NOTIFICATIONAUTHOR$" | /bin/mailx -s "`echo $HOSTSTATE$ | sed -e 's/UP/RCVR: /' -e 's/DOWN/ALRT: /'` $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

As noted previously we have defined misccommands.cfg in our nagios.cfg as one of the configuration files:

Code:

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/misccommands.cfg

I suggest you review the nagios.cfg as it has a lot of notes in it. Also look at templates.cfg as it has some examples.

You can go to Nagios' site to determine the meaning of the variables used in the above.
