Are you trying to modify the config manually? In Nagios XI you must use the Core Config Manager.
Go to the Core Config Manager->Contacts->rforte-notify->Modify, fill in all of the required info, and click on "Save". Don't Apply Configuration, yet.
Go to the Core Config Manager->Tools->Write Config Files, click on four "Go" buttons to verify your configs. If you don't have any errors, Apply Configuration.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much .I could modify that in GUI CCM.
Now i am getting this error.Though I did not find any duplicate entries for it to clear.

Warning: Duplicate definition found for command 'host-notify-by-email' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg', starting on line 639)
Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg' on line 640.
Error processing object config files!

Open the CCM -> Commands
Search for notify
Make sure we don't have 2 named the same thing
Delete any extras

we do not have any duplicate entries in that for host-notify-by-email.

define command {
command_name host-notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

define command {
command_name host-notify-by-epager
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Host '$HOSTALIAS$' is $HOSTSTATE$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\nTime: $LONGDATETIME$" | /bin/mail -s "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - Host $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$" $CONTACTPAGER$
}

define command {
command_name notify-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

define command {
command_name notify-by-epager
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Service: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nInfo: $SERVICEOUTPUT$\nDate: $LONGDATETIME$" | /bin/mail -s "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$: $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$" $CONTACTPAGER$

Lets run the write config tool top 3 buttons
Configure -> CCM -> Tools -> Write Config tool

After getting the error, go to ssh console for your xi server and run

Code: Select all

grep -r "host-notify-by-email" /usr/local/nagios/etc/

Report the output

Here is the output of the command attached.
Could see only one entry for in commands.cfg file

/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg: command_name host-notify-by-email

[scottwilkerson]

And you have one in the import folder in the following...

/usr/local/nagios/etc/import/misccommands.cfg

This is the problem
