Notifications with Exchange

Post by systemsman »

Hi Guys

I am pretty new to using Nagios and Linux in general.

I found some guides on how to configure it to monitor windows server and am very impressed with it.

The one thing i just cannot seem to get working in the email notifications. Is there anybody out there who can help e.g. with a step by step guide. i am aware of postfix and send mail but just cant seem to get my head round the configuration.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Many thanks

If your company uses an SMTP server you can look into sending mail with SMTP instead. I recommend msmtp. I think you'll find the documentation and configuration much more manageable than postfix. Otherwise you will probably need to go through the pain of learning postfix.
