nagcmd after install

rhel 9.7, core 4.5.11 So, whatever nagios install doc I used, didn't mention the nagcmd group. So, I went on my merry way and get everything installed, and everything works, except command through the webui. Which apparently requires nagcmd. I tried just adding the group and adding nagios and apache...

Re: notification email not working

Well I think I managed to get it. One thing that rhel 9 needs is s-nail, which used to be mailx.
Once I add that, it made whatever link it needed between nagios and postfix.

notification email not working

New install of nagios core 4.5.11 on rhel 9.7 I have core set up, it works for almost everything for hosts, a few things don't yet, but that's beside the point, right now. I have postfix installed, and I can send messages through it. My issue is getting nagios to send the notification emails. I have...

Re: check_http error

Well, I can dig and nslookup, so dns should be ok.
I didn't think that would be the issue, since it resolved fine, before the upgrade from rhel 6 to 7.
Core version is 4.5. I supposed it could just be a plugin config. Not entirely sure how to check plugin version.

Just so it's here: this is the contents of check_dns_zone.

problem with check_dns

So, a bit of background. My nagios core, working on upgrading from rhel 6.10. nagios core 4.4.6. I have nagios configured to check dns on a dns master server. It checks the named files. These 2 files are modified, which then propagates down to the dns slaves. The dns master server was rhel 6.10. I u...

Re: set up instructions for nagios core

Thanks, I will take a loot at that documentation. I would have responded sooner, but when you live up north, this is a good time of year for vacation!
