no host or service notification commands defined!

[FLCUISIT]

No changes have been made to user or notification. Last change was to remove a ESX server monitors. We had upgraded to 2.6 recently, about 2 weeks ago.

I am receiving the following when I try to apply configuration

Error: Contact 'user.name' has no service notification commands defined!
Error: Contact 'user.name' has no host notification commands defined!

I have tried the following solution and it did not work

Any help would be appreciated

Could you go to "Configure" > "Core Config Manager" > "Contacts" and click on the Floppy Disk icon on one of the contacts that you are having issues with and post the output here?

[FLCUISIT]

Clicking the disk icon displays all contacts in the configuration file: Her is the one that was generating itemized in the error messages


define contact {
contact_name todd.streeter
alias Todd Streeter
host_notification_period todd.streeter_notification_times
service_notification_period todd.streeter_notification_times
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s,
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s,
host_notification_commands xi_host_notification_handler
service_notification_commands xi_service_notification_handler
email [email protected]
host_notifications_enabled 1
service_notifications_enabled 1
use xi_contact_generic
}

Error: Contact 'user.name' has no service notification commands defined!
Error: Contact 'user.name' has no host notification commands defined!

Is 'user.name' = todd.streeter?

Can you run the Write Config Tool and show us the output after clicking on the "Write" and "Verify" buttons?

[FLCUISIT]

Yes it was Todd.Streeter

[tgriep]

Could you go to "Configure" > "Core Config Manager" > "Commands" and make sure the xi_host_notification_handler and the xi_service_notification_handler are active?

[FLCUISIT]

Both are active

[tmcdonald]

Am I correct in assuming that this error only occurs when you do an Apply Config and not a Write -> Verify manually?

[FLCUISIT]

Yes, that appears to be correct.

[tmcdonald]

Are the databases offloaded by chance?
