Change the Enail acct sending the Notifications

Post by rdhall01 »

Nagiosxi notifications were coming from [email protected] I then Changed the acct to [email protected] Most of the alerts have changed but every now and then host relateed alerts come from root! I need to complete the change so they always come from the [email protected] acct. I need them to be consistent any insight would be helpful

Are all of your contacts using the
xi_host_event_handler & xi_service_event_handler

in the Host/Service command* as seen in
Configure -> CCM -> Contacts -> Modify

Not too sound real dumb but when I look at the individuals contacts I do not see a place for the uage of xi_host_event_handler & xi_service_event_handler. Im not sure where else to check for that?

Go to Core Config Manager->Alerting->Contacts-><your-contact>->Modify. Under the "Common Settings" tab (Contact Management) you should see something like this:
