notifications problems

[doom]

hi

i'm running 2 nagios core servers
one in my local network for testing, and one in a remote location (web-farm)

both basically have the same configurations, running on ubunto servers.
i use the one in my local network for learning and testing
when i see it's working i create the same thing on the remote server for monitoring

the problem is.
the testing nagios working better that the remote one.

i am monitoring remote servers using nsclient
everthing is working fine in both of them,
for testing purposes i overloaded one server cpu. to see what's happen
the local nagios send notification immediatly.
and the remote one does not send notifications. but it's showing that the cpu is critical.
i double checked the setting and everything is set the same and notifications seems enabled.
didn't find anything worng in logs.

how can i check what is the problem ?
is there a way to find out why i don't get notifications

[aston]

does the notify by email command work from the command line ?

also in nagios.log do you see that the command has been executed

[doom]

yeah the command works
it's sends notifications when there is no ping to a host

just service notification dosn't work
i shows in the website that notification enabled

and no
in the log i just see cpu critical, but there is no attempt to send notification.

I had a similar problem. The service was in critical HARD state for two Nagios servers and none of them was attempting to send out an alert a few days back. I know the notification works because the same service was in WARNING state and alerts were sent out. Nothing really has changed since then. It looks like Nagios just did not bother to generate any notifications a few days back. Both servers are running Narios Core 2.3.2.
