contacts.cfg is not working properly

[sinkak]

yes in same file contacts_nagios2.cfg

[hsmith]

Is the file properly defined in nagios.cfg?

Code: Select all

grep contacts_nagios2.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

[sinkak]

i didnt specify each file in nagios.cfg.
i put all the servers config in a folder and specified that folder.

For example

Code: Select all

# Debian uses by default a configuration directory where nagios3-common,
# other packages and the local admin can dump or link configuration
# files into.
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/conf.d

conf.d folder has all the server config files in separate folders and also contacts folder.

ubuntu@nagios-2015:/usr/local/nagios/etc/conf.d$ ls
admin-resourses dc-servers generic-host_nagios2.cfg ips rds service_groups.cfg timeperiods_nagios2.cfg webservers-stage
cacheservers elb generic-service_nagios2.cfg localhost_nagios2.cfg riak services.cfg weblinux-servers
contacts extinfo_nagios2.cfg hostgroups_nagios2.cfg pnp4nagios.cfg schedulers services_nagios2.cfg webservers
ubuntu@nagios-2015:/usr/local/nagios/etc/conf.d$

All right, just wanted to eliminate that one from the pool. What version of core are you using? I believe in older versions you had to specify

Code: Select all

        host_notifications_enabled	     1
	service_notifications_enabled	1

in the contact definition.

Could you post one of the service definitions that is failing to send out an alert?

[sinkak]

Free disks space, Check_HTTP critical checks.
They are showing up as critical in [email protected].
But not in [email protected]

[hsmith]

Can you post the actual service definition from the configuration file?

Such as:

Code: Select all

define service{
	host_name		linux-server
	service_description	check-disk-sda1
	check_command		check-disk!/dev/sda1
	max_check_attempts	5
	check_interval	5
	retry_interval	3
	check_period		24x7
	notification_interval	30
	notification_period	24x7
	notification_options	w,c,r
	contact_groups		linux-admins
	}

[sinkak]

Code: Select all

define service{
        use                             generic-service,srv-pnp
        hostgroup_name                  weblinux-servers
        service_description             Free disks space
        contact_groups                  admins
        check_command                   check_nrpe_args!check_all_disks!20%!10%
        _graphiteprefix                 ua-east-1a.weblinux
        _graphitepostfix                disk
        }

What is the output of a grep -Pzo "(?s)^define\s*?(contact|contactgroup)\s*.*?}" /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache command?
