I configured Nagios core 3.4 in ubuntu 12.04, it's working fine

If any Service down, am getting Mail notification. but If any host down, am not getting notification

Hi praveen.ks,

Could you post the host definition please, as well as any related templates.

In the nagios admin console, do you see the notification being sent when the host is down?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Hi praveen.ks,

Could you post the generic-printer template please.

When you go to the Nagios web interface, on the left hand side go to Reports - Notifications, and check if anything is being sent out from there when the host goes down.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

@ praveen.ks

You don't have any contacts defined for P1XX and P23XX hosts. Unless you have a contact defined in the "generic-printer" template, you are not going to receive any alerts for them.
