Adding contacts and contact groups

[madhurima12]

But if I run a simple echo hello | mailx email@something.com in the terminal, it does send the email. That must mean postfix is running.

ok, notice you said mailx that is not part of the command you are having nagios use...

Run (from inside the container)

Code: Select all

which mailx

then replace /usr/bin/mail in your commands

restart nagios

But also, are you running that from inside the container?

This is a bit out of our scope as we don't manage containers here....

[madhurima12]

Yes, the terminal runs in the container itself.
Yeah I understand that and that is part of the reason why it is so hard to setup a simple contact group cause I cannot find any reference material anywhere. The best bet was to ask you guys.
On running which mailx, the path is /usr/bin/mailx
Where do I have to replace this ?

Code: Select all

# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" | /usr/bin/mailx -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
