This all appears to be correct.

You may want to modify the event handler to add the following to the end, so it would log any errors output when it runs from within nagios

Code: Select all

$USER2$/event_handler_service $HOSTNAME$ $HOSTALIAS$ $HOSTADDRESS$ $SERVICEDISPLAYNAME$ $SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEPROBLEMID$ $LASTSERVICEPROBLEMID$ $SERVICEEVENTID$ $SERVICEOUTPUT$ $LONGSERVICEOUTPUT$ >> /tmp/event_handler_service.log 2>&1
then you can look in /tmp/event_handler_service.log if it gives an error in the log
