Problem with enabling notifications with postfix

[tgriep]

You would edit the 2 commands shown below and add -r [email protected] to the end of the command_line.
Remember to replace [email protected] with a real email address.

Code: Select all

# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-host-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAd
dress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE
$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$  -r [email protected]
        }

# 'notify-service-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-service-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALI
AS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$\n" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIF
ICATIONTYPE$ Service Alert: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$ -r [email protected]
        }

It doesnt work u.u, in the mail.log dont show me anything information, if the notifications cant sends, or yes, nothing:/, i think that is bad configuration that i do to postfix to run the notifications

[tgriep]

I will need to get your configuration files to debug this issue. I will need the nagios.cfg file. I will need the contact, host and service configurations for one of the systems you are checking.
You can either post them here or PM the files to me.

There is something:

The command "tail -f /var/log/maillog" doesnt work, says no such file in directory, i use ubuntu server i think is that.

The invalid address shows me this in the mail.log, i can send mails to everybody, but the notifications of nagios doesnt work, i configured contacts , commands , host and services to enable notifications and short intervals test if works.

What was it you did that worked? I'm still thinking this is likely a mail server setup issue - not a Nagios issue.

[Jessuzz94]

i tought that was problem of both

[jdalrymple]

What was it you did that worked?

Please answer that question. The aforementioned excerpt of maillog indicates a successfully sent E-mail. How did that get sent?

[Jessuzz94]

it sends emails succesfully with the command | mail -s "test" [email protected], but doesnt send notifications to the nagios email that i configured.

[tgriep]

Could you check your nagios.cfg file and check to see in notifications are enabled like below?

Code: Select all

enable_notifications=1

If it is not, set it to 1 and restart nagios

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

We need to see your notification commands, notify-host-by-email and notify-service-by-email.
