Nagios Alerts

[LuisN]

Didnt work =\

Removed the retention File, and restarted service. still sending the wrong Host Alias.

Lets make sure you do not have multiple nagios parents processes:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg
killall nagios
ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg
service nagios start

Post the output of the above commands.

[LuisN]

[root@Mon_Server1 ~]# service nagios stop
Stopping nagios: ....done.

[root@Mon_Server1 ~]# ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg
root 20709 15824 0 14:35 pts/0 00:00:00 grep nagios.cfg

[root@Mon_Server1 ~]# killall nagios
nagios: no process killed

[root@Mon_Server1 ~]# ps -aef | grep nagios.cfg
root 20720 15824 0 14:35 pts/0 00:00:00 grep nagios.cfg

[root@Mon_Server1 ~]# service nagios start
Starting nagios: done.

Still no change?

[LuisN]

Nada =(

[abrist]

Is ABC the same as your hostname? Are the issues with just notifications, or with the web UI as well?

[LuisN]

ABC is the Alias, hostname itself is correct.

[abrist]

Could you post the service check definition *and* the full command definition?

[LuisN]

define service{
host_name Hosts1
service_description Ping
_SERVICE_ID 16225
use Ping-LAN
}

its as simple as it gets. that above will not give me the correct Alias, which is tied with the host not the service.

OK, let's try looking through your configs and objects.cache. I am going to write this as though it is a source based install on Cent, so your directories may vary.

Code: Select all

grep -i '[string that you don't want ie. abc]' /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache
grep -iR '[string that you don't want ie. abc]' /usr/local/nagios/etc/
grep -i '[string that you do want ie. xyz]' /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache
grep -iR '[string that you do want ie. xyz]' /usr/local/nagios/etc/
