If "nagiosaskodin" is the contact of interest, then you should modify the configuration - currently, host notifications are disabled, and the "service command" is not defined. You should have:

Code: Select all

host_notifications_enabled           1
service_notifications_enabled        1
You can modify this through the Core Config Manager->Alerting->Contacts->Modify.

Also, go to: Core Config Manager->Monitoring->Hosts, find the host of interest and click on the "Modify" Action button. Post a screenshot of the "Common Settings" tab, where it shows the "Host name" and the "Description". You can erase the IP address for privacy.

With your current setup, after you fixed "%host% (changed %hostname% to %host%), in your e-mail notifications, do you see:

Code: Select all

Host: admn-mx4
Description: Primary Exchange mailstore
or your description is still wrong?
