Nagios configuration behind proxy

[abrark]

Hi,
I have installed nagios core successfully, but alerts are not working. I know my server is running on proxy. Please suggest how i get email alerts working for nagios on a server where proxy is enabled.
Regards,

Nagios alerts are commonly a text string echo to the local mail application:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios Monitor XI Alert *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$

In this example, the method that /bin/mail uses to send the email is what needs to be configured to handle the proxy.

Thank you for your reply. Can you please share the configurations required for proxy.

This is out of scope of Nagios support. I am not sure what kind of mail you are currently using, but here's some info on using proxy with postfix:

Hope this helps.
