     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Appears to be a problem with the contact 'Matt'. That is me but I cannot recall where i input this information???

Most users add templates to the contacts. Is this contact linked to an xi user? (named the same as an xi user)
If it is, you should configure the xi notification handlers for your contact or add the proper template.

For user configured contacts:
Use the template "xi_contact_generic" or:

Configure the notification commands on the contact.
Go to Configure --> CCM --> Contacts --> Click contact --> Click alert settings tab.
Click "Manage host notification commands" and add "xi_host_notification_handler" (this should be the only one added).
Click "Manage service notification commands" and add "xi_service_notification_handler" (this should be the only one added).

For contacts without user configuration:
Use the template "generic-contact" or:

Configure the notification commands on the contact.
Go to Configure --> CCM --> Contacts --> Click contact --> Click alert settings tab.
Click "Manage host notification commands" and add "notify-host-by-emailr" (this should be the only one added).
Click "Manage service notification commands" and add "notify-service-by-email" (this should be the only one added).

Yes that solved it, good to know that adding a contact but not configuring the templates will break it.

Thanks for your help!
