Nagiso don't stop seding notification alert

Post by vitoreuphrasio »

Hello,

I am working with Nagios a few months and now I had to set the notification through e-mail.

I set postfix to use a Exchange Server as a Relay and now I am receiving e-mails, but I desactivated everything I could, but Nagios still sending e-mail to me.

When I check the Notification Page of Nagios I got this:

Host / Service / Type / Time Contact / Notification / Command / Information
XXXXXXXX /C:\ Drive Space /CRITICAL /28-03-2012 09:54:48 /nagiosadmin /notify-service-by-email /c:\ - total: 19.99 Gb - used: 18.19 Gb (91%) - free 1.81 Gb (9%)

When I click on "nagiosadmin" show me this:

Contact Name / Alias / Email Address / Pager Address Number / Service Notification Options / Host Notification Options / Service Notification Period
nagiosadmin / Nagios Admin / nagios@localhost / - /None / - / -

Host Notification Period / Service Notification Commands / Host Notification Commands / Retention Options
None / None / None / None

This look like Nagios is getting nagios@localhost as an e-mail, but my real E-MAIL is totally diferent. So, no make sense for me, to keep receiving these e-mails. I use NagiosQL for set the notification properties.

Version:
Nagios® Core™ 3.3.1
NagiosQL 3.1.1
Postfix 2.8.5-3.5.1

Someone can help me? If need any config, tell me, I post here.

Thanks.

In rare circumstances nagiosQL doesn't clean up removed config elements so if you are 100% certain that you have removed it from NagiosQL then go to the Nagios config directory /usr/local/nagios/etc/ and open contacts.cfg and remove that user, though that bug should never affect contacts.cfg. Re-export your NagiosQL configs... if it exports that user again then you have misconfigured something in NagiosQL. (This process while unnecessary will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that NagQL still thinks there is a link)

I am actually tipping that the nagiosadmin user is still active somewhere in your NagiosQL configuration.

Just to share, you can enable and disable commands using command line.

## To DISBALE notification
#!/bin/sh
now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

/usr/bin/printf "[%lu] DISABLE_NOTIFICATIONS\n" $now > $commandfile

## To ENABLE notification
#!/bin/sh
now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

/usr/bin/printf "[%lu] ENABLE_NOTIFICATIONS\n" $now > $commandfile

Hope this helps.. Thanks and God bless!
