Notification problem
Posted: Thu May 26, 2011 8:35 am
Hello,
Yesterday one of my co-workers pointed out that he not received any email-alerts from Nagios recently. I checked the particular config-file but nothing has changed. In case of an alert an email is sent to two groups (admin,sap) but only one group (admin) is receiving the alerts by email.
In order to check if the problem was related to exchange 2003, i manually tested the sap emailaddress (mail -s test [email protected]). The sap emailaddress received the test mail so that made me think that exchange is not the problem.
I made a small adjusment to the notify-host-by-email command and forced a warning/error for that particular host to see the contents from variable $CONTACTEMAILS$.
I noticed that the $CONTACTEMAILS$ variable was only containing the emailaddress from the admin group and was missing the emailaddress from the sap group when the mail command is executed.
Anybody an idea what is causing this problem and how i can solve it?
Any help will be appreciated.

Code: Select all
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/bin/printf "%b" "[b]$CONTACTEMAIL$\n[/b]***** Nagios *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ Host Alert: $HOSTNAME$ is $HOSTSTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
