Could you please post the API query you are running?

Yes! I think if you just remove the contact_groups from the hostgroup, add the hostgroup to the host and create a contact group for the host you should be able achieve what you are after. Let us know if this works out!

Wasn't this log file working a few posts earlier? If it isn't check the permissions on the log file again like tmcdonald suggested. You will have to verify it's working with the 'Testing' first and then add the debugging lines from my post.

Try running through this doc, it might be a simple permission issue: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... utions.pdf

There are some agents you could choose from including NSClient and NCPA. Also take a look at this: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ndows.html

This might get you in the right direction:

I'm a little confused, on line 12 is: $NAGIOS_HOSTALIAS=$_ENV['NAGIOS_HOSTALIAS']; but the error is on line 10, are you sure this is the same script that had the error? Anyways, add this to line 4 of your script: file_put_contents('/tmp/smsdebug', $to); Also, add this directly below $NAGIOS_HOSTALIA...

Glad it was resolved, it's magic! Can we get the go ahead to close this post?

You'll need to do the same for these packages:

So, the contact_groups can only be defined for hosts/services and no longer works on hostgroups. You need to manipulate the hosts in the hostgroup to use a contact group instead of defining it in the hostgroup itself. Here's a doc about object inheritance for you to peruse: https://assets.nagios.com...
