Nagios Support Forum

Hello:

We add another contact to nagios to send email alerts to another email account , when was created the new user we received an email confirmation from Nagios in the user mailbox (the email domain is different like the nagiosadmin email account domain).

We add the user to contacts and setiing the email alerts for host and services in a sever test, but the alerts only arrive to the original nagiosadmin email account, not arrive at the new user.

The settings in the alert settings tab are copy form the nagiosadmin settings.

We need the alert email arrives to both accounts.

Go to CCM->Contacts->click on the "View Text Config" action button, and show us the contact definition (hide sensitive info).

BTW, can you run the following command:
and compare the email you see to the one in the config file.

Did you X out all those fields or is it actually displaying that for some reason? lmiltchev was asking you to compare the email in the output of that command to the one in your config file.

The X is sensitive information , I only replace the real values for "X" , the user is added correctly in the SQL database"

The email is correct.

Go to:

Core Config Manager->Hosts->View Text Config and copy/paste the config of the "test" host

Core Config Manager->Contacts->View Text Config and copy/paste the config of the contact in question

Note: Hide sensitive info.

The relevant information about host, service and contact in text file.

It seems you changed the "default" notification handlers. In the contact's definition, you have:
Try changing it to:
