Nagios Support Forum

No changes have been made to user or notification. Last change was to remove a ESX server monitors. We had upgraded to 2.6 recently, about 2 weeks ago.

I am receiving the following when I try to apply configuration

Error: Contact 'user.name' has no service notification commands defined!
Error: Contact 'user.name' has no host notification commands defined!

I have tried the following solution and it did not work
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 08&p=57780

Any help would be appreciated

Could you go to "Configure" > "Core Config Manager" > "Contacts" and click on the Floppy Disk icon on one of the contacts that you are having issues with and post the output here?

Clicking the disk icon displays all contacts in the configuration file: Her is the one that was generating itemized in the error messages


define contact {
contact_name todd.streeter
alias Todd Streeter
host_notification_period todd.streeter_notification_times
service_notification_period todd.streeter_notification_times
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s,
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s,
host_notification_commands xi_host_notification_handler
service_notification_commands xi_service_notification_handler
email [email protected]
host_notifications_enabled 1
service_notifications_enabled 1
use xi_contact_generic
}

Error: Contact 'user.name' has no service notification commands defined!
Error: Contact 'user.name' has no host notification commands defined!

Is 'user.name' = todd.streeter?

Can you run the Write Config Tool and show us the output after clicking on the "Write" and "Verify" buttons?

Yes it was Todd.Streeter

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check

Could you go to "Configure" > "Core Config Manager" > "Commands" and make sure the xi_host_notification_handler and the xi_service_notification_handler are active?

Both are active

Am I correct in assuming that this error only occurs when you do an Apply Config and not a Write -> Verify manually?

Yes, that appears to be correct.

Are the databases offloaded by chance?
