Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,


Is this possible to monitor the Real time Alerts which are sent to User's email id.

You may want to clarify what you mean by monitor them.
On the service or host though you can click the "View Service Notifications" icon (looks like a little cell phone) and this will show you all the notifications that have been sent out for that service or host in your defined time period.

Rupender, did GldRush98 answer your question?

Actually i just want to monitor all Alerts which are sent to User's or Contact's Email id.

Is this possible with below command:

tailf /var/log/maillog

Sure, you could tail and grep for the email address, or something unique to the contact.

When i traced the Sendmail log as well as Nagios log which is
NAGIOS LOG

#cat /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/nagios-09-01-2013-00.log |grep RADshare 27
#cat /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/nagios-09-01-2013-00.log |grep 172.25.24.27 Outpout is nothing

Okay you are running into notification problems now too? Do you have anything closer to "Spet 1, 21:59:36" in your mail log?

No, that is only whatever i post before...


Can anyone confirm me that Is this possible email is sent without Sendmail MTA?

What is the mail method that you are using - Sendmail or SMTP?

Definitely Sendmail..
