Nagios XI 2011R2.4 No Email Alerts

[JasonMagee]

We currently have a nagios core server running in our production environment. I am now attempting to configure our new nagiosxi server to take over this role. I cannot figure out why email alerts are not being sent though. I am able to send test emails from the system though. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using our VMWare VM? It is possible that you don't have a mail server installed. Try running in terminal:

Code: Select all

which mail

If you can't find mail, run:

Code: Select all

yum install -y mailx

Since, you are migration from Core, please, review our documentation on Users and Contacts in Nagios XI:

Hope this helps.

We are using the vmWare VM. I got back the following when running "which mail"
/usr/bin/which: no mail in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

Regarding contacts is it done differently than in the Core product?

You should be able to do the following

Code: Select all

yum install mailx -y
