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?

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
}
