Here is a contact example:

Code: Select all

define contact{
	contact_name	contact_name
	minimum_value	0
	host_notifications_enabled	[0/1]
	service_notifications_enabled	[0/1]
	host_notification_period	timeperiod_name
	service_notification_period	timeperiod_name
	host_notification_options	[d,u,r,f,s,n]
	service_notification_options	[w,u,c,r,f,s,n]
	host_notification_commands	command_name
	service_notification_commands	command_name
}
Please let us know if you need additional examples.

Can you show the output of ls -la /usr/local/nagios/etc?

Your contacts.cfg is in another directory, but I can't tell where it should be because you didn't upload your nagios.cfg. If you'd prefer to PM it, that will work. Just make sure you update this thread after you PM it.

UPDATE: nagios.cfg received and shared with techs

Multi-tenancy is the key, please read this document:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

See here as well:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Rights.pdf

Code: Select all

Note:

If you apply a contact/contactgroup to the host they will automatically be able to view all services attached to that host, this is by design, if you do not want a user to see all services you will only be able to add the contact/contactgroups on the services and NOT on the host.
Let us know if you have any questions.


Thank you

What's the output of ls -la /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects? Looks like your contacts.cfg should be in there.

Also, did you read through the documentation @ssax sent?

baber, even though the links I posted were for XI they are still very relevant to Nagios Core, did you read through them (at least the multi-tenancy one)?

Your answer can be found above, and also in the documentation @ssax linked. What specifically are you having issues with?

Have you seen the documentation on how a host is defined?

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... .html#host

You will need to add the contact name to the contacts field in your host definition if you want the contact to be able to see that host.
