Email notifcation issues.

Post by mshember »

I have been working on an odd problem with email notifications. I have a batch of windows server machines which the user would like an email notification when the D drive is around 90% used. Our setup does interact with a home grown help desk ticketing system. The windows systems are all running Nsclient++

Tickets are generating for the basic monitoring of memory, cpu, disk, and up/down.

Emails are only generating for ping up/downs.

telnet to email port work.

Basic Config:

define host{
hostgroups windows-servers,win_D_Drive
use generic-host-24x7
host_name server
name server.domain.com
alias server.internal.domain.com
address 10.10.10.100
contact_groups defaultcontactgroup
}

----------------------------
define contact {
contact_name contact-template
alias generic contact
name email-contact-template
host_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_options d,u,r,f
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email
service_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email
register 0
}

define contact {
contact_name mshember
alias Mathew Shember
contactgroups windev
email [email protected]
use email-contact-template
register 1
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas? need more info?

Thanks!

Hmmm that does seem like a bit of an unusual one, are there any clues in the maillog? Are emails not being triggered at all, are they just failing to send?

Is the same defaultcontactgroup assigned to hosts and services? There's bound to be a clue somewhere :)
