How to setup a NOALERT Contact

[kwhogster]

Nagios 4.3.4
I am defining a service to check which will call a .sh file I wrote to schedule downtime..

I want to add the contact on the service so it will not send any alerts on this check.

So I created a noalerts contact

Code: Select all

define contact{
        contact_name                    noalerts
        alias                           Send No Alerts
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        }

When I run the Nagios verify config I get these errors
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -vv /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Error: Contact 'noalerts' has no service notification commands defined!
Error: Contact 'noalerts' has no host notification commands defined!


I have other contacts with those two commands like below

service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email


I do not want to send notification at all for the service

Any ideas?

Thank you

Tom

Hello, @kwhogster. You can still include a notification command for the contact, but change the notification options to None.

host_notification_options n,
service_notification_options n,

Thanks
got this instead

Code: Select all

define contact{
        contact_name                    noalerts
        alias                           Send No Alerts
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r
        service_notification_commands   n,
        host_notification_commands      n,
        }

Error: Service notification command 'n' specified for contact 'noalerts' is not defined anywhere!
Error: Host notification command 'n' specified for contact 'noalerts' is not defined anywhere!

Any ideas

OOPS

I misread your commands it was options not commands

Code: Select all

define contact{
        contact_name                    noalerts
        alias                           Send No Alerts
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    n,
        host_notification_options       n,
        service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-email
        host_notification_commands      notify-host-by-email
        }

Now this runs thru with non errors

Thank you
