Nagios Support Forum

I finally found the issue. I found that the standalone contact doesn't use the Nagio XI for the mail relay server settings in Admin > Manage Email Settings > SMTP Settings > Host. I had to modify the setting for the email service running on the OS. On the Nagios VMWare version, I modified /etc/postf...

I changed the notification commands, but still didn't work, until I created a user account with the same user ID. Still not able to create a standalone contact. define contact { contact_name don_high alias don_high host_notifications_enabled 1 service_notifications_enabled 1 host_notification_period...

This is the original working contact when I created my admin user account. This one has been working from the start. define contact { contact_name don-admin alias Don Admin host_notifications_enabled 1 service_notifications_enabled 1 host_notification_period don-admin_notification_times service_noti...

First, thank you for the quick response!! I first found that PHP and System time was not in sync. I made the change to /etc/php.ini and this did fix the “Apply Configuration…” message to go away and fixed missed sync issues. I also found out why I wasn’t able to disable notification at the contact u...

Yes, that was what I as thinking, as well. I do have the certs in /home/nagios/.ssh. Runing the commands from the cli did show that it was setup correctly. Thank you very much for the update and I will do as you recommended.

Thanks again!

I'm recently been evaluating XI for our University and ran into some issues with using contacts and sending out alerts. Not sending Alerts Issue: When I first setup a user account, it created a contact user with the same ID. I'm assuming there might be a link between the two accounts? To test alerts...

I did go through all the steps again and where I thought I had modified the "only_from" setting in the /etc/xinetd.d/nsca on the Nagios server. It was set to only allow the localhost. Once that was set correctly, it started working. The errors in the client's event logs after the service s...

I'm looking in purchasing Nagios XI for our Unversity and I'm running into an issue trying to monitor a Windows 2008 R2 server's eventlogs. Which method does the Nagios support team recommend and can support? I've tried two differant methods and I couldn't get either one to work. I really like the N...
