several notification commands with different timeperiods

[link]

Hello,

Idea seems simple, but didn't find how to acomplish that.
I want to send sms alerts only in non-working hours.
Tried to define two contact templates (generit, sms-conctat) with different commands (email-notify, sms-notify)
and added to contact : use generic-contact,sms-contact
but that do not work.

Does anyone have an idea how to execute ceration notification commands only for specific timeperiod ?
thanks in advance.

Did you set the desired respective timeperiods on the templates?

sure I do

Code: Select all

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

define contact{
        name                            sms-contact       
        service_notification_period     nonworkhours                   
        host_notification_period        nonworkhours                   
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-sms  
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-sms
        register                        0                      
        }

then I do:

Code: Select all

define contact{
        contact_name                    nagiosadmin           
        use                             generic-contact,sms-contact     
        alias                           Nagios Admin           

        email                           [email protected]
        pager                           xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        }

I can set any timeperiod in sms-contact template, it just never works

So what is the exact issue? Are you receiving any sms texts and emails? If so, when?

[link]

with config I posted I never receive sms, only mails.
if I do in one template:

Code: Select all

service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-email,notify-by-sms

then I get mail and sms, but 24x7 for sure.

Those are the command handlers for your notifications, that is expected behavior.

Quoting Andy:

So what is the exact issue?

with config I posted I suggest that I will receive mails + sms in non-working hours.
And issue is that I receive only mails and never sms.

Just for test I've changed 'nonworkhours' to '24x7' in sms-contact tempate, and anyway I never received any sms.
Checked nagios.log as well - it never calls notufy-by-sms in such configuration.

This may be due to the missing notification options. It looks as if you have not declared any host/service states to be notified about. You may want to add:

Code: Select all

service_notification_options    w,u,c,r,f,s           
host_notification_options       d,u,r,f,s  

To your sms contact definition.

nope, I tried that before and now checked again.
It doen't metter if *notification_options are presend or not.
nagios just executes notify-service-by-email and never by-sms

Lets check the logs:

Code: Select all

grep notify-by-sms /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
