Contacts/email configuration

Also here's what I get back when I run the command:

Code: Select all

Apr 04 08:37:46 HOSTNAME sendEmail[15088]: ERROR => Connection attempt to stmp.gmail.com:587 failed: IO::Socket::INET6: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

I think you entered the hostname incorrectly, it should be smtp.gmail.com not stmp.gmail.com

That fixed it! Thank you! I am typographically challenged, apparently!

Ok, one last issue (I hope): The command works in the terminal, but no notifications are sent. What do I need to add to the commands/host config to make that happen?

[scottwilkerson]

The command you had specified previously for the notify-host-by-email and notify-service-by-email has specified several $USERx$ variables, you should verify they are set correctly, and that those commands are specified for contacts in the contact configuration.

If they are, I would look in the nagios.log to see if the notification commands are getting triggered and if there are any errors like there were before

[LibrarianJoe]

Thank you! Checked the variables and we're all good now, notifications are coming through.

Thank you so much for all your help!

That's great to hear, are we okay to lock the topic and mark it as resolved?
